A trailing arm bushing cushions the joint where the trailing arm attaches. It lets the arm pivot as the suspension moves while absorbing vibration and limiting unwanted play. Signs this part may need replacing include:
- clunking or knocking over bumps
- a loose or wandering feel
- uneven tire wear
- a bushing that is visibly cracked, torn or separated
Other suspension parts can cause these symptoms too, so diagnose the cause before you replace anything. Replacing the bushings on both sides at the same time is recommended. Consult the vehicle service information for installation steps, torque values, and the correct fasteners, including whether the original fasteners may be reused.
