   You'd be better off getting a refurbished rear beam. When you take the trailing arm off, it's difficult to get it back on without destroying the seals. You can get a refurbished rear beam here: http://www.imaxle.co.uk/
   They're not that hard to fit, just can be time consuming and a 2 man job, assuming you fit it yourself, for free.
   How much do you think the car is worth after its been repaired?
