Trailing Arm

Trailing Arm

Most vehicles with rear-wheel drivetrains use either leaf spring or coil-spring suspensions. Leaf spring suspensions use the leaf springs to hold the rear axle housing assembly in place. However, coil spring suspensions use upper and lower trailing arms (also commonly interchanged with the term, "rear control arms"). Trailing / control arms regulate up-and-down suspension movement, keeping coil springs straight and vertical, as well as locate the wheels centrally in the wheel well. Upgrading them with a stronger design and materials reduces flexing, increasing handling performance.

When choosing replacement trailing arms, first confirm the year, make, and model of your vehicle. From the remaining options, choose the set that best fits your application and budget. For performance and racing applications, you may choose between adjustable and non-adjustable (depending on availability) to adjust and optimize axle pinion angle, as well as upgraded and stronger designs to reduce flexing.

JEGS offers a large suspension trailing arm selection to choose from, manufactured by top brands like Coleman Racing Products, QA1, Dorman Products, Hotchkis, JEGS, and many others. Each trailing suspension arm is made from high quality materials and assembly to provide the suspension performance your vehicle deserves.
