Nine out of ten times, when one of these arms has to be replaced, it is simply due to the spring plate being rusted and\/or broken. These GoWesty spring plates are thicker and \u003cem\u003eway \u003c\/em\u003estronger than the originals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eOur perches come unpainted but we do give them a light zinc plating for corrosion resistance while they sit on our shelves (and yours) awaiting installation. Be sure to grind away the zinc plating anywhere you plan to apply a weld. And as always make sure your workspace is well-ventilated when you're grinding and welding. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drill out the original spot welds, toss the old perches, line up the two holes on the replacement part with the existing two holes in the suspension arm, and weld up the other holes. It may sound complicated, but it is not that bad. If you can weld, it will be easy as pie! If you can't weld, you will be hiring a pro for the job anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cc0000;\"\u003eFit note: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cc0000;\"\u003eOne required per trailing arm, two per vehicle.
