    tool for checking if trailing arm is bent questions.

    so I am working on the reassembly of my '68 911 and I am concerned that I either have bent trailing arms (both of them) or my car needs to go back to the bench to get checked out and re-repaired.

    I had a torsion tube and some other work recently done to the car and everything looks great. However the trailing arm and spring plate are not mounting up nice and true and the car looks like it has way to much toe in and I cannot adjust it away.

    First question: Is the trailing arm tool P295B good for all of the variations of trailing arms or is there a specific tool needed for the SWB arms.

    Second question: Does anyone know who may have one?

    Thanks in advance.

    Jay, tool P 295B is for LWB trailing arms from 69-on.
    The tool for SWB trailing arms is P 295.
