I sold my "trailling arms" to Johnh on CGP and he's telling me 2 months later that they are "spindle rods".

I've never heard of spindle rods

Nah, I'd be thinking Spindles.. The part on RWD cars on the front suspension between the upper and lower control arms that carries the rotors, lugs, and the wheel ... BUT FWD cars don't utilize that. since they use McPherson Struts, Hub Bearings, & half shafts...

Must be an old SCHOOLER. LOL

Maybe they are confusing lateral arms?

It's hard to believe that JohnH would say that, that guy knows a lot about cars. He's currently has one of the fastest 2004+ GP's in the club.

Those are not Trailing arms, they are spindle rods....the ones on my compG are better....


That's what he told me....I guess he is working with Morad to figure this out, he says they are 1-2'' shorter than his trailing arms, and that the part number on what I sent him comes up as "Rod" on gmpartsdirect.
