What do you guys think of
REAR AXLE LINK
U94433102200

Price: $275.00
from autoatlanta.com?
What other rear trailing/control arms do you guys know of on the market?
I can't find any others just yet

Thanks,
Richard

Not a good idea to impulse by from autoatlanta. They are well known for bending people over.

Swap to aluminum, there's a guy parting a 924S right here.

OR. . .I bet someone here will part with a steel one for $50 or so!

I also have a pair, they are, sadly, drums, but the arm is the same. Let me know.

I will let each side go for $40, with hardware and hard brake line (don't know if it is the same for the drum and the disk).

I have a rolling chassis i'd sell you for $275, but you'd have to come to Georgia to get it :p

Good point, makes perfect sense.

DOH I thought you were asking if the trailing arm was the same!

Will the rear trailing arms be the same between a 924 and a 931?

Yes. They are the same between the two.

Early 931 used drum brakes, discs were optional, later cars got the discs by default.

It all just bolts together. Grab a 924 arm and bolt up your disc brake parts after you remove the rear suspension.

I would take the opportunity to refresh the rear bushings, etc. while you have the suspension out.

I'd also suggest making a careful check of the CV axle on the side that got bent. A blow hard enough to warrant changing the control arm could also break the CV joint. I know 'cause the '78 924 that we turned into a racer had this problem. We swapped the control arm and then had to deal with a fractured inner race in one of the CVs (outboard, IIRC).
