I had a look under my car, the arms that were replaced were the 'trailing' arms, and from what I have read on this forum previously, they are the most likely to be the problem. When mine were replaced (under warranty) I was told the job was worth about $2K, which seemed high to me but that's what he said. It included rear suspension realignment. If you have a look at the Pelican Parts website, there are 'technical articles' that should help you, including DIY alignment.

Yes. I think if there is a problem, trailing arms will be it. There's some good stuff about how to replace them in some old posts here. It's going back in on Thursday and I'll see what they say, if it's trailing arms, and it's expensive, I'll have a go at doing it myself.
Thanks.

Wondering if the pole was limited some how I can't place a vote.

Hi, the poll was so you could try and guess what condition my IMSB was in, before I had the work done. I had it replaced last week, and the results are in, so that's why the poll is now closed.
Cheers!
