rear trailing arm mounts?

[scirocco81@vwmail.net (Eric S)]

I had a SHOP do this to my old 80 rustbucket without telling me.  I found duct tape under my rear seat near the wheel well inside (rear seat bottom was in backwards, thats why I found it).  Pulled the tape to find a nice X cut in the car...they had cut the X, and bent up the corners to get to the backside of the stud and dropped in a new one.

Needless to say, I was pissed...made them weld the cut shut, then never went back.  (Acutally, they got all pissed cause I told the story here on this list and warned people about their business practices).
