Van Steele trailing arms, just like VBP, had problems with their bushing dimensions. They finally corrected them after going out of their way to prove me wrong. The stock rubber bushings may or may not fit snug. Usually the outer sleeves are a little loose in the arm.
Ecklers and Toms use smaller diameter bushings and the stock ones cannot be installed.
Global West use poly bushings and sperical ends. I have not tested the poly, only the sperical.
One major difference in all these arms. The thickness of the mounting surface for the bearing support. They all use .250 steel plate except Global West. They use .370. Factory thickness is .285-3.15.
