That's suck about GMPP trailing arm but I finally got GMPP front and rear sway bars couple days ago. I ordered them 4 months ago on backorder. It has been holding it for me. I see they show my order that trailing arm is unavailable after I got GMPP sway bars.

Time to find other brand for trailing arm. Any sugguest?

Thanks,
palsut

Oh.... one more thing...

Is that true that all 2005-2008 grand prix have GMPP trailing arm? Maybe I might find them 2005-2008 grand prix in the junk yard later.

I heard NextLevel, ZZP, and ThrasherCharged all had their own. Might wanna go cruise by their shops and see what they got.

ZZP has GMPP trailing arm so they remove it out of this product list. ZZP don't have trailing arm on their site anymore for now. I use search on zzp site. It just show me GMPP only which it shown "out of stock".

ThrasherCharged don't have them on list too. Not sure about nextlevel because I don't know where to find them. Thank Rick.

W body store... Thank blackarrow98gp. Look like unhappy gpona member who brought this trailing arm thought it was gmpp. Let me copy and paste from gpona site.

The W Body Store still lists them: Tubular Trailing Arm Kit
^yeah and they are NOT GMPP brand. I ordered mine from WBS only to receive some wimpy, skinny trailing arms with the name "Monroe" painted on them. I was highly pi$$ed. Not trying to bash WBodyStore, but their false advertisement is some BS. There's essentially no description, NO brand name, and the item code is "GMPTAKit" which would lead one to believe the "P" stands for performance, so GMPerformance, right? WRONG. I got a crappy $50 set of Monroe trailing arms that list for $20 on SummitRacing and PacePerformance. What a rip off....

So what about this one?

*edit* Now, I know GMPP trailing arm is on 2005-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP only. Not sure if it is rare car or many of them on junk yard. wink

I have WBS trailing arms, though anything would be better than stock.

it doesn't seem like it'd be hard, but do they sell the bushings separate?

just reuse your stock ones or buy new stock trailing arms if they are bad and have a tubular piece welded in to replace the stock 'U' shape. Not too complicated if you have a measuring tape, hack saw and welder, or take them to a shop to get welded.

if you make your own why not just beef up the stock ones then you know the length is right

otherwise id consider BMR

Actually, I already brought other brand that blackarrow98gp gave me link from other site.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-05-Gra...Q5fAcc essories

I will give them a try and keep you update if they fit on my car. Lucky, my mom has new house pretty soon on Friday. I will installed everything on heater garage instead freeze outside.

A good welder could easily box the stock ones. Old School GM guys have been doing that on Chevelles, GTOs & Cutlass for years.
