Hi all, just wondering what the difference between dry and hydro rear trailing arms. I know the mount for the shock and helper spring are different. Could i over come this with making a new shock mount/pin as i want to use hydro arms in a dry subframe? Cheers and happy mini-ing....

The leverage ratio is a bit different to a dry one.
Some people say they won't work, but Steve (justminis) in Cairns says yes they do, with Hi-Los.
You can drill & tap the end of the stub shaft to 3/8 UNF and use a Grade 8 bolt to mount the shock, no problem. :wink:
