I don’t see how changing from torsion bars to coil overs does anything to reduce the loads placed on the trailing arm inner pickup points. The fore/aft loads during braking and acceleration are significant and must be resisted.

Please show some photos of what you are doing to lock the torsion bar tubes (now there are two) down….
