Rear Suspension ?

Post by Ky2000 »

I have a poping sound from the right rear as i first takeoff. Can you just tighten up the bolts on the trailing arms, or do they just need to be replaced? Do the bushings wearout?

If the bolts are loose you can tighten them up after first removing them to make sure nothing was hurt. The bushing can indeed wear out. You can buy bushing for the older style but not the newer style.
