This is the bent trailing arm bolt that came out of the passenger side of my '82 DeLorean. It is the original bolt, and as you can see it (like many other DeLorean TA Bolts) had decided it had enough. The original rear suspension design, for which we have Lotus to thank, put a lot of stress on the TA bolts. These bolts kept the rear tires from moving front to back. Therefore when they bend the rear end is now out of alignment. Of course, if one were to break, you could loose control of the vehicle. I replaced mine with a set of Toby TAB's. Only 168 sets were made. The bolts are made out of Inconel (a nickel-based alloy). These are essentially the strongest bolts you can buy for this application. Hey, if they are good enough to attach jet engines to aircraft, they're good enough for my DeLorean!
