Need some info/guidance.

Trailing arms on the NNBS Suburban.

Driver side is tight, makes no noise.
Passenger side (see video) is making a little rattling noise that can be moved by hand.

Anybody have this happen and possible fixes?

@Doubeleive
Thx the reply.

I was figuring a replacement might be in the cards. Funny how you see trailing arms or control arms listed for that part.

Why did you replace yours?

Did you have any trouble getting the bolts loose on each arm?

Did you have to heat them up, PB blaster or big breaker bar?

Did you thread locker the bolts when you replaced them?

I am in Cali so no rust here, but I replaced mine just because I wanted a better design. the old ones came out no problem. I do not remember if I used thread locker or not but I assume I probably used the blue stuff, they have not come loose I get under it and re-grease them once in a while.
for the uppers I think I used the mevotech stamped steel which are basically the same as oem, I just painted them red to match the spohn. so I would not bother with the uppers unless they are worn out.
