I've heard of those trailing arms giving out once or twice before. I've never had any problems myself, but have actually been thinking about doing that mod to mine, to prevent any issues later on.

I think I was reading a thread on this forum where a guy was going up a steep grade, hopped his rear end and both trailing arms folded from the torque. Could've been another forum though..

Anyway! for a nice, easy mod!

Surprisingly, the pics didn't make me wince.
I'd seen some Edelbrock replacement trailing arms for a really good price last year and thought "who the hell would be dumb enough to bend their factory one up?"

Actually, I knew that was another weak link in the deuce, so it comes as no surprise. Looks like you may have been a little too hard on THAT particular Prius!

SMA made a set, occasionally you'll run across them on Ebay.

There was a guy on this forum that was making a set, that he planned on producing and selling on the forum, but no one had much interest at the time. IIRC, it was some heavy duty business with heim joints.
