My last car had semi trailers and my current one has a arms... hence when I read your post ..my ears pricked up....
If you have a jig that lines up every tube and suspension tab for a-arms and trailing arms like I do, than they are both easy. I said trailing arms are easier because with both items being easy with fixtures, the one that is quickest and over $100 cheaper becomes the easiest, well, for my particular setup it does...

For the do it yourselfer not plating his front a-arms and not having fixtures, I would agree a-arms would prob. be easier, but if there are jigs involved then it starts to even up the odds more...

If I roll the inner mount it changes so this should be no problem. Just need to roll it a small amount.
