Drivers side axle trailing arm bowed out in center and hitting metal wheel house
I am not sure if this was caused by jacking damage or fatigue however it is a problem that needs to be fixed asap. Basically the whole center area of the drivers side trailing arm is bowed out to about approx 3 inches or so and because of this the rolled edges of that trailing arm are cutting into the metal that forms my wheel house.
This isn't a 3rd but a 4th I just didn't want to join a 4th site to have this answered.
I am interested in opinions on tubular trailing arm etc ... Pro/cons to vendors, prefer black ones with black urethane.
This is a v-6 grocery getter that isn't abused in any way so something of equal to marginally better I think would be fine. Also considering tubular other parts for the rear suspension as well as that bar from axle to transmission.

3rd & 4th gen are identical in that area.
There are plenty of aftermarket ones available; not too much $$$. I have the Lakewood ones and they seem perfectly fine.
