Default Checking Cossie rear beam
How can i measure the rear beam/trailing arms to check if they're bent?

I know somethings bent for sure, but not which part

Hi John

i don't think your beam wil be bent , your trailing arms mighted be fooked

just get a couple of traling arms they don't have to 2wd get any and just weld your anti roll bar brackets off your old arms on to your new ones

John

or the only to check it properly for a 100% is take your beam off and put it on a jig that will tell you if it's bent or not

You could get checked out at a wheel alignment place.

they will at least tell you how bent it is,if it is, and which side.

Still, not as bent as mine.
