Chris,
I got to know, been looking at your car you have as your signature pic, been looking at it alot, and I don't know if it's a optical illusion, or if your rear trailing arm is broke, because it looks like the drivers rear tire is sitting to far back in the wheel well.

Yep - rear trailing arm unhooked from the rear end at 60 mph. That wasn't a good day.

I'm replacing the stock trailing arms with boxed PMT Fabrication units. We're towing the car to a new shop today - after 9 weeks of guys looking at it, I've finally found someone who will start fixing it. As you can imagine - there's some bodywork to do since the rear end started steering me at 60 mph. The most serious stuff actually came from that rear wheel dropping back at speed.
