Keep the rear wheel firmly located and the axle tracking true with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Trailing Arm CMS70171. This rear right lower suspension trailing arm drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of Volkswagen and Audi models, including the 2007-2018 Volkswagen Jetta, 2012-2022 Volkswagen Passat, 2010-2014 Volkswagen Golf, 2008-2014 Volkswagen GTI and 2006-2013 Audi A3 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications and engines.
The trailing arm ties the rear wheel to the chassis, controlling fore-and-aft wheel movement and helping maintain proper rear suspension geometry and alignment.
Worn trailing arm signs may include clunking or rattling from the rear, imprecise rear-end handling, or uneven rear tire wear. If a failed trailing arm is the cause, this replaces it — have the underlying cause diagnosed first, since those symptoms can stem from other worn suspension parts.
