Hi everyone:  I too, am glad to see the recent activity on the email lis=
t, so I thought I'd chime in with a story of my own.  I was loosening my=
 left inside trailing arm bracket bolts recently to remove an alignment =
shim, and water started dripping out of my frame.....kind of puzzling un=
til I remembered the hours of rain I drove thru on my way to the Trials =
last month.  The car was jacked up on the left and tilted to the right, =
so I drilled a small hole in the bottom of the trailing arm cross member=
 near the driveshaft end and more water came out...about a quarter cup t=
otal.  It looks like there's a hole on the forward facing part of the cr=
oss member that lets water in from road spray, but no hole on the bottom=
 to let water out.  No wonder these things rusted out early and often!  =
I drilled the right cross member but no water came out.  I blew it out w=
ith compressed air and plan to soak the inside of the cross member with =
WD-40, and after that a mixture of used gear oil and WD-40.  I'll place =
tape over the forward-facing hole in preparation for the next rain event=
.   Matt Mullin
