| Hey, got your message- sorry. Swap the whole trailing arm, leave all the control/compensator arms in place. Torque according to service manual, get alignment. Use donor car brake lines and e-brake cables. That's it. |

| Look at the hubs on both cars, if one of them looks corroded then go full trailing arm swap. The CX was pretty good about bolts not being seized when I worked on it, but that was 7 years ago. The real problem with just swapping hubs is that if a bolt breaks, you're fucked. Last edited by xj0hnx; 06-30-2012 at 01:21 PM. |

| Swapping the hubs isn't fun. Did that on my old coupe and almost all of the bolts broke. Had to drill them out and tap them |

| I did the full kit on mine - everything. Even shift linkage, and front tranny mount. The other 3 tranny/enmgine mounts were replaced with Drop Engineering Polyurethane filled mounts. Last edited by Dual-500; 07-02-2012 at 10:23 AM. |

| Its not too bad of a swap, like said before, as long as your bolts arent roached. The toe adjuster bolts were seized when I did my EF. What a pain in the arse that was. |
