Rear trailing arm, stabilisator pin

[1974phil]

Hi Guys,

In the process of gathering all the parts for the rebuild of my 911 2.2 T of 1971, I've purchase a new left rear trailing arm (mine has been badly fixed probably after a small crash).

The replacement does not feature the pin to fit the rear stabilisator. What I discovered is that it does not feature the reinforcement to which the bottom part of the pin is welded.

What is the best way to add this pin and obviously the reinforcement plate without cutting out the whole section, to fit the reinforcement and then patching the section back on the trailing arm ?

Thanks for your advice.

A photo of your part would be helpful. There are two lengths of pins. You will have to drill some holes and weld. I found it easier to do on the car so I knew it was the right angle and location you can buy the pin separately. I have not seen the reinforcement plate for sale.

And you could buy a different swing arm with the part already welded on but make sure it matches the other side first, that may be easier and cheaper and sell the other arm.

Hi Scott,

Here is a picture of the replacement trailing arm.

Do search for"rear sway bar install" where I posted how to do that.

With your red arm, you can buy the long pin. Drill a large hole on that front face. Drill a small hole behind in the tube, so the pin can sink and deeper, and weld and either make a bracket or go without.

I don’t believe the rear swing arm (rear) has any reinforcement behind the pin , the photo and part you display is the replacement front bracket for the top of the front A arm …just an FYI , Bert

Well, actually there is a reinforcement plate as you can see in this pictures, in the red circle. This plate is missing on my red replacement arm :



But I really don't know how to weld this in without cutting the area of the pin out, welding the reinforcement in and welding the pin are back.

I found the reinforcement you mention , the one in the photo (part #2) is something altogether different
Yes there is a small plate or bracket the pin sits on not sure where or how to obtain that without having it fabricated ..Bert
