tii trailing arms - different than stock ?

[ryanOC]

what about the rear brake drums / shoes / cylinders ?

i just pulled the rear subframe out and am getting ready to paint it, and clean up the trailing arms too.

the brakes need some assistance, but i was thinking of swapping my good rear brakes from my car into it

2002 and 2002tii rear brakes are the same.

iit's the 2002turbo that has 'larger' rear brakes

and of course you know the rear control arms

of the 2002tii & 2002turbo are 'boxed' in

The tii uses the same as the 1600 if I recall.

blatant thread hijack but here goes....anybody know if the rear subframe (carriers) are the same or different on diffferent models/years. I think I got the wrong one on mine because of excessive toe and camber on the rear wheels. I don't think it is the trailing arms that cause it.

The camber changes with ride height. Also check the Differential carrier bushings. If they are sagging too much, the camber will be off. G

increase in negative camber? if so, I'd be wanting to make a swap for that!

All I know is that when I got the car the rear wheels were perfect. They lined parallel with the frame and the camber geometry was square with the ground, really 0 degrees. Then one day it changed. The fronts of the rear tires were in about 7-8 mm (toe-in) on each side and the wheels are not parallel but point trapezoidally upward. I changed rear springs and the camber still is not proper. I think someone removed the entire subcarrier, differential, and shaft and swapped it with one from another vehicle. Thats why I ask, could they have installed a different year and it doesn't fit? I think that's what happened. Total bummer. Sorry for airing gripes in public.
