Trailing Arm: Description and Operation

Fore and aft movement of the rear knuckle is controlled by a trailing link. The trailing link bolts to the bottom of the knuckle and to a bracket attached to the floor pan of the vehicle.

The trailing link is steel and has rubber isolator bushings, retainer washers and nuts at each end to isolate suspension noise from the body of the vehicle.
