I replaced my trailing arms two weekends ago, and it is pretty straightforward. The first one I replaced was the driver's side, and I jacked the car up to do it. The passenger side I used ramps to get the car up. You have more room to access everything if you jack the car up, but you'll have to jack the control up to get everything to line up. The ramps method was difficult for me, because my ramps aren't high enough, and they are in the way.

The most difficult part was dealing with the splash guards and the huge plastic cover in front of the splash guards.

Now that the very bad and constant clunking is gone, it is strange to drive! It's almost like a normal car now. But without the terrible clunking, now I can hear all sorts of other suspension noises; creaking, smaller clunking, and squeaking. When my Bilstein shocks get in (the rears have been back-ordered for months), I'm completely rebuilding the suspension, including installing ROW M030 springs.
