There's loads of information in this thread (largely thanks to Charmalu and dieseldan)

when replacing the 'trailing arm' (what I call the lower control arm--is it the same thing?), should i also replace the metal bracket that holds the pin like bolt, as well as that pin like bolt itself? what about the subframe bushings? is the subframe bushing easy to replace if you loosen the subframe enough to remove the lca?
