Not safe. If you are lucky the spring will work out and jam against the
shock. If it flies out the car behind you will not be pleased. With some
creativity you can make a new post with 1-1/4" pipe and a 1/4" plate.

Subject: Left, rear trailing arm

Hello,
 Anyone have a driver side, rear trailing arm for sale?

 I found 2" cylinder of metal rusted off of mine! I believe it's purpose is
to  locate the bottom of the spring.

I am not sure if it is safe to drive like that. What do you think?

Thanks,
Ken
