Hi again, this time I have A's instead of Q's:
Looks like a consensus: (1) Leave the trailing arms bare aluminum (I'm having
them bead blasted at a local shop). (2) There are always shims present to set
the geometry. Additional shims change rear toe-in. (3) A threaded rod and
correct nuts&washers is the way to go for removing/installing bushes in the
trailing arms. In fact, the setup I used to compress the front road springs
was perfect for the rear bushes, how nice. Also: a hacksaw works well to cut
the ends off the old dry rubber bushes before pulling.
