Help keep the rear axle located and road vibration in check with the Dorman suspension trailing arm bushing, part number 523-032, a direct replacement for the 2003-2008 Toyota Corolla, 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix and 2003-2008 Pontiac Vibe. Dorman lists this rear bushing as an Axle Support Bushing, and it is also cataloged as a Trailing Arm Bushing, so you may find it under either name.
The bushing cushions the pivot point where the rear axle support attaches to the vehicle. It allows controlled suspension movement while limiting how much road shock and noise pass into the body. It is precision-engineered and rigorously tested to serve as a reliable replacement for the original equipment on specific vehicles.
Signs a worn bushing may need replacing include a clunk or knock from the rear over bumps, a loose or wandering rear feel, uneven rear tire wear, and a bushing that is visibly cracked, torn or separated. If a worn axle support bushing is behind those symptoms, this part replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing any parts. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
