Does anyone use Appletree 3X3 trailing arms on their woods buggy. I was wondering if they will withstand the punishment. http://www.appletreeauto.com/dom-traili ... r-652.html

If not. Where can I get a good set of 3X3 trailing arms. I would like to get a set that is straight. The right wheel leans out on the last two sets of 3X3's I have had.

Thanks

Are you sure the Torsion is not bent or the pivot point is welded on correctly? Just seems odd that after 2 sets the same thing occured.

Hey Odyknuck

If you are ever in North Bloomfield. Stop and take a look to see if that is the problem. I live in the center of North Bloomfield. The North Bloomfield High School sign points right in my driveway.

Thanks
Wayne

There doesn't look like anything is Bent. Looks like a stock VW tortion housing. When I put the arms on They seem to bolt up without any problem. The arms that was on before was worse that the ones I have on now. This is an older Beeline Frame. I was told that the buggy was built by Phil.

Here are some pictures.

i am running these same arms. i have beat them pretty hard and have held up great. one did get a very small crack early this year but believe it was stressed from a roll over. my wheels sit straight and true. i also have air bags mounted on mine for the rear suspension

The left wheel is straight. The right one leans. It would not bother me. But it is wearing my tire out on the out side. Is there any way to fix the right arm. Should I just get a new set and start over.

Hey Sandparts

Everything is new. The wheel was leaning out when I put it on.

I am going to change the Trailing arms on my 4 seater. When I do I think I will put the old one from the 4 seater on this bugggy. I know the old ones on the 4 seater are straight. If the wheel still leans out then I will know that it is the buggy and not the arms.
