Does anyone know who, besides Vansteel, will rebuild trailing arms that are sent to them. I had "booked marked" a couple of rebuilding web sites that will rebuild my original set for around $300 each and guarantee them to boot, but somehow I've lost the site and can't recall the names . Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I think any of the mail-order places offer the rebuild service. Then there's VBP, I think does them, also.
I'm sure there's more. Someone will mention the one you are looking for, I bet.

I talked to Brian Bair here at MAM-FF today.  He told me that all of the rebuild work that MidAmerica brings in is actually done by Bair's.  So if you're thinking about using MAM to rebuild them skip the middle man and contact Bair's directly.  You will get a better deal by going direct and you WILL be satisfied with them. 
 
When talking to them on the phone be sure to mention that you are a C3VR member and thank them for their continued support of our club.
