Sniper Focus Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Sorry for the newb questions. My brother sideswiped a light pole and messed up the rear suspension on the '97 Cutlass Supreme that has been in the family for the past 13 years. Since I'm the car guy I've been elected to fix it, but I don't know much about the W-body. From searching I think the lateral links (I think thats what their called, four total) are bent to hell and it could use a new trailing arm. I think I see the trailing arms on websites, but can you buy the links new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXX Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Rockauto should have the replacement lateral arms as well. Should be listed under track bar or some crap. Do yourself a favor, look up parts as its a 96 Cutlass Supreme. I've seen occasionally where looking up as a 97 which it is, will return some part results as a 97 Cutlass (N-body, aka Malibu) which are very different. And a little info, I highly doubt that is all that is bent after sideswiping something. Rear subframe and knuckles are easily damaged.
