Just looking for some advice....

I am taking my 89 in tomorrow to a frame specialist. Keep getting told that its the trailing arm, and I have posted about it a few times. They told me that it pulled through the frame, after it hollowed out a place on the frame....something like a 5/8 hole went up to over 1 inch in diameter. :banghead:

It causes the car to wander alot all over the road, and of course, makes the driver's side tire rub on left turns (trailing arm is supposedly the problem/located on driver's side)

I guess my question would be like, How much should I expect to pay to do something about this? I'm really a rookie when it comes to these weird suspensions on this kinda car and dont know what to expect, or do you think I could fix it in my garage with a little welding to the frame? I just dont wanna go in tomorrow and get the whole "your car has MAJOR issues" speech, and get a ENORMOUS estimate while expecting a smaller one. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hello there! Just a quick question if you dont mind:smile: I have Buick Riviera 95, a week ago I've crushed front left tyre, now have to buy new rims:banghead: Du you know what would be the exact size of rims?:confused: I live in Dubai & here is only 3 buick Riviera exist at all & no body wants to come close to such cars:sadwavey:

Thanks

Welcome to AF, when the tire is dismounted the width and diameter are stamped inside the wheel. BTW start a new thread, do not jump into an unrelated issue, thanks.

Sorry for unrelated thread & thanks for advice!!!:smile: Buick is very rear car, GM motors won't help me, they'll just advice to get a new car:frown:
