please read the text correctly i asked what was thought of the tarantula trailing arms not what u thought of rose jointed ones or the cost

I have some about to be fitted and they seem pretty decent to me, I know a couple of people with them fitted and have heard no bad reports.

[Nick154]

My brother has them fitted on his car and has no probs, Don't forget to get some uprated bushes to get the full affect.

What do you mean by and uprated bush :-.

if you you get the polybush bushes they alloy you get more flex as there not so hard

standard polybushes are harder!!! but they do some for off road (the blue ones)

it stiffens up your suspension

[Mr Alford]

looks like ill be purchasing a set of these then, thanks for all your feedback, at the moment i have scorpion racing 4" lift on the rear and whatever articulation i give it the spring just doesnt seem to be at its full articulation and i feel that my trailing arm is preventing this along with my bushes, i know that replacing my radius arms will be the next big thing but again its more money if theydo give me the articulation i need then i can get my grubby little hands on the qt reverse dislocation cones

It depends on the particular polurethane bushes in question. Apart from the Comfort blue Polybush, my experiance of polyurethane bushes is they tend to have a similar effect on the suspension as viagra does on parts of the body.

I'm currently using genuine metalastic bushes with the origional trailing arms and getting nearly full travel at the rear out of an 11" dampers on Gwyn Lewis mounts

Please dont shoot me..... but have you also removed the anti roll bar? made a hell of a difference on mine. just fitted cranked arms, but not had a chance to try em in anger yet! (terrafirma not terantula, but similar in design).

I did my own :D :D



standard RR arms cut ,bent (10 degrees) sluged and welded then 25mm x 25mm angle to reinforce them the full length, seam welded..

passed the mot and the mot man who also does sva tests was impressed and used the phrase belt and brasses 

total cost £0 + three hours  :dance:

[Mr Alford]

liking that lee very cost effective . any futher plans  :-k

[lee celtic]

yeh lot's :shock:

I've got a shed full of junk a welder half a bottle of red , it's dark and i'm wearing welding glasses...

Hit it

diy builds include :-

danbar thingies with damper relocation (tube in shed)
sliders (square tube in shed)
Rear bumper bling (see other thread , bumper bling )
roof rack (see other thread , and my next project is...)
tubular turets (tubes bent just waiting for rings )

and lots more , It's just a matter of waiting for the scrap / junk / freebies to come along because my wallet tells me that waiting is cheaper than buying.. ;)
and the old bike customiser tells me that if I can make it myself I will be happier with the result :D

[clbarclay]

There is something very satisfying about making your own kit.

Lee, do you really need rings for the base of the turrets?
The bases of mine are just 2 bits of flat and they are not the only ones I've seen made that way. The origionals are round, but then the whole design and construction of them is rather different.
