4. If sway bar mounts to trailing arms, remove at this time. Start with either trailing arm and remove the rear bolt
(Fig. 3). Note: Replace the bolts in same orientation as original.
5. Remove the front trailing arm bolt using a socket with an extension - place the socket through the outer hole in the
frame to loosen the nut (Fig. 4).
Caution: Be careful not to drop the bolt into the frame - if you do, then remove the bolt through the large hole on
underside of the frame using magnet, etc.
6. Remove the unbolted trailing arm.
7. If you are having difficulty removing the trailing arm bolts, then remove the lower shock bolts and the rear springs to
aid bolt removal.

Edelbrock Trailing Arms are fully assembled, greased, and ready to install.
1. Install new trailing arms with the grease fittings facing down, with sway bar bolt holes towards the rear of car.
2. Install the new trailing arm by locating the front bolt first.
3. Place one drop of blue Locktite™ on clean threads and torque the nut to 70 ft./lbs (Fig. 5).
4. The trailing arm should then pivot smoothly on the chassis.
5. Install the rear bolt.
6. Place one drop of blue Locktite™ on clean threads and torque the nut to 70 ft./lbs.
7. Re-install sway bar (if removed).
8. Although Edelbrock Trailing Arms are pre-lubed, you may want to finish your installation by
lubing the front and rear bushings with a grease gun. Be sure to replace the dust caps on the zerk fittings to prevent
dirt and corrosion from damaging the fitting.
Re-check all nut and bolt tightness after first 10 miles.
Note: To further upgrade your suspension, use other Edelbrock suspension products such as springs, shocks, torque
arm, panhard rod, subframe connectors, strut tower brace, etc. For more information, go to our website at
