This trailing arm bushing kit is designed to replace worn or damaged bushings on two trailing arms of 1963-1982 Chevrolet Corvette models. It secures the trailing arms to the chassis, restores suspension alignment and handling precision, and reduces noise and vibration for a smoother, more controlled ride. Made from high-durability polyurethane with corrosion-resistant sleeves, the kit offers long-lasting reliability and an easy direct-fit replacement for restoration and maintenance projects.
