Hey Clay, finished installing the front rear brackets, driver and passenger. They went in just as described, perfectly in about 2 hours each side. I had never welded before. I bought a 110v mig welder from harbor freight, bought an "open box" for $119. Payment was by Paypal and easy. Shipping was super fast. The instructions and videos are important to view, excellent kit. Would do it again.
Clay is an Amazing guy. This man saved my car from the scrap yard. 🙏🏻 Thank you
I put finished installing the front single bolt brackets in a 12 terrien. They work awesome and isn't super complicated with the instruction video. Once you cut the old out, you see exactly where the brackets need to go, and can't mess it up if you can follow instructions. This was a customer of mine that just paid $6,000 for the vehicle 4 months ago, and it was basically junk without these. I tell customers bring a vehicle in for a pre-purchase inspection and they could avoid this stuff. I Definitely would recommend these to anyone
Excellent job. Keep it coming!. You the Man.
Hi Clay! I did the bracket install this weekend. Everything went exactly as you said it would. Funny enough that body clunk I had in my rear passenger side was 100% that rusted out box! While we had it on the lift, we did suspension and hubs on all 4 corners. So hopefully your fix will get me a few more years on the car, would have sucked to scrap it with only 143k miles. If the other side fails I'll definitely be back for another bracket!
Ok i’ll get a hold of you on Facebook done. Thanks Clay.
This guy is my Hero!!!!
Just got done replacing the driver side front bracket for the rear trailing arm using Clay's bracket on my wife's 2012 Equinox. I've never welded before, but I am a very good learner and do have some soldering, woodwork and general repair and maintenance type stuff around the house and car. Basically I'm always looking to learn new skills that will help me out in life. I would not have thought I could have done this one myself though. The repair shop told me it was unfixable. If they can't fix it then how can I? However, the parts from The Clay Way are built to make this super easy, there are a number of videos that run you through the process and the ability to text, share pictures, ask questions, etc. made things pretty easy. I did the job with in my driveway with the front of the car on ramps and just some wheel chocks in the back and a jack on the center rear with just enough support to not lift the back but keep it steady. For sure it was a lot of work, but it saved us from having to figure out to do with a car we owe money on that the shops were saying was pretty much scrap even though everything else on it is super nice and reliable. Thanks so much. I can't express how appreciative we are of the work you do and the help you provide.
A MI local! im going to come see you when mine starts to fail!
What a life saver!!
got mine done

I need to get a hold of you again. You put a front bracket on my 2013 equinox. Need one for the passenger side front bracket.
So two of my coworkers have rusted out trailing arms on equinox's. Im trying to get a jump start on keeping rust down.
Hi Clay, excellent job fabricating those boxes . I just wanted to mention that the rear boxes are available from GM but not the front one’s , they are discontinued .
I replaced both brackets on one side of my 2012 Equinox trailing arm using Clay's modified brackets. It is some work. For me probably took 6 hours in all not really knowing what I was doing, but Clay was very helpful with texts, pictures, and phone calls back and forth. The new brackets will probably last longer than the car!
I need one! Yesterday lol
Ok so how does one prevent rust out in the first place. What do you recommend for preventive maintenance on this trailing arm area? I used a paint brush with bar oil mine had a coating of rust still solid though. maybe oil it couple times a year stick a hose n sprinkler under the rear end lol
Me again the reason I am switching engines is a have a rod knocking really bad and there is a small amount of water in the oil on the 2002 should I just fix it or should I swap the engine with the 2004
Can you repair (or who I'm on Michigan) a 07 impala frame? I'm told I have maybe 2-3 years left it's rusted pretty bad, most is all down the sides underneath by the rockers, all rotten
