Trailing arms & suspension cross memeber

[Gelf VXR]

Noticed that mine have al lot of rust, would the rear suspension parts be the same across all models? Would be looking for salvage parts in better condition, get the treated / painted and replace. 1, 7 & 8

Mine look terrible too, I think they're the first thing to fuzz up.

If Raving is reading this, would you have these parts in good condition

Get a set shot blasted and powder coated, fit them to your car then sell your old ones to another member until we all have a refurbished set!

[Gelf VXR]

That's the general idea if mine can be refurbished afterwards

Guilty as charged!

Even if I get the rear suspension parts from Gary or Brett, who else in the UK apart from Monkfish who I guess did have will have the Holden fixture for alignment for the rear suspension and sub frame? Pedders?Walkinshaw ?


I found this old thread regarding front and rear sub frame alignment, front looks doable, pivots on one bolt until you align the factory stamp mark, but the rear looks a nightmare without the fixture.

Last I checked it was only Monkfish.
I tried to buy one a while back and the Pedders one was the only one around. Kent Moore do one now from the US.

Looks easy enough to replicate if someone can borrow one 😊 Do Monkfish still need there's...?

Do you know the part number for the tool, I bought a trade Kent Moore J-41480-A Front & Rear Cover Align Tool for 60 euros from Kentipex in Hungary, maybe they can supply
