So Ross saved my bacon again by letting me have a pair of good vts trailing arms after I discovered my shafts were shafted.
As the shafts of the 'new' arms need to be pressed in I am considering getting the machining done to allow a 30mm arb later on. Is it as simple as turning the inner diameter of the shafts out so that they accommodate the 30mm bar.
Thanks for your advice and daft comments in advance !

New one's are another way, the OE ones current and the Febi ones have large enough holes in

Makes no odds when new, Only the factory spec beams had the silly hole sizes, God knows why as it would cost more to make and more part numbers

I have two decent second hand shafts that I intend to use, I cant afford to go and get new. They are slightly different on inspection which is why I suspected they were l and r handed.
Does it matter which side they go in ?

It doesn't matter which side they go, aslong as you press them in in the correct way
