A trailing arm connects the rear wheel assembly to the vehicle's body or subframe. It helps locate the wheel and control its movement as the suspension travels. If a bent or worn arm is behind rear clunking, uneven tire wear or wandering, this Dorman trailing arm replaces that component. Replacing the arms on both sides together is recommended, and a wheel alignment check after installation is advised.
