Looking at a future trailing arm setup and considering micro stubs. Any and all opinions as well as sugestions on what to look at would be helpfull.

Tatum or Race Trim are pretty much your choices. The Tatum has an "in-house" version of a 4 piston wilwood and a re-buildable bearing housing. The Race Trim gets you heavier rotor and real wilwood caliper but no serviceable bearing. I tried the Race Trim on Rear and Tatum on Front. So far satisfied with both.

The Micro stub does allow for a little more travel however I prefer the standard stub axel for the longer distance between the bearings that adds more strength for the riding we do.

Steve I heard they dont have as much strength side to side. Just trying to weigh options. I have those jamar Hubs you told me to buy from the Samba last year, but I need to build new arms to use them. And they will also require new arms of some sort.

I havent had any problem with my race trim micro stubs. I put ALOT of miles on them and only replaced one bearing. The bearing didnt go bad, I just hit someone hard enough to bend everything else up on that side, so I replaced it to avoid problems down the road. As for the strength compared to stock, I believe it is alot stronger. My only problem with them is the willwood caliper. Several guys I race with have the same setup as me, and all of us have issues with the rear brakes. I think the mount flexes allowing the disk to push the pads back giving you crappy brake response.

if you have the hubs then make the arms . i made a set for mine and we just made a set for jason there not that hard to make . i have a jig for chevy hub arms that are 4x4s . look at my odd posts you will see how i did it . jason has the arms that DVS1 made for his chevy 8 lug setup that was made out of box tubeing.he is not useing them maybe you can make them work .

Thats good to know. Do they use back to back Timken tapers? I dont recall.

I have no idea what the bearings are. I hve tried and tried to cross them over with no luck. They are very similar to a chevy 2500 4x4 front bearings, but empi did something to change them so you have to buy theirs!
