bluebird trailing arms
I have raided a couple of Nissan Bluebirds and have the adjustable upper rear suspension links to use for my trailing arms.I see others have used
these.Have they been OK? I was considering sleeving down the bushes as 12mm bolts seem a bit bulky.Has anyone else done this?If so did you use 10mm or
8mm bolts?

Not 10 seconds ago, I posted in the chassis section about these!
I have used them, they have 14mm eyes, so I just opened out the holes to use 14mm bolts. I used one non adjustable as a datum and 3 adjustable to fine
tune the axle. The 4th one I extended to make a panhard rod, again fully adjustable.
You can see the panhard rod clearly in this shot, and a bit of the trailing arms
