- 4 signs of a worn trailing arm bushing. If you're experiencing clunking noise or thumping noise coming from the rear end of the vehicle's suspension area there is a good chance the trailing arm bushing is worn and should be replaced. Also if you notice instability while driving and when turning around the corner this is also another symptom.
Had a 2008 Lexus 350 back to the dealership five times , with no avail.
Found this excellent video and the description of driving issues were spot on .
God bless you and your family , and all the best to you in the future.
I have an 08 Mazda 3 and once I hit 50+ mph it feels like almost like swaying/floating back and forth man, you could easily cause an accident cuz of it, at least in my case. This is the first I’ve heard of the TA ‘s (just a diyer) so ima look into testing them. I’ve replaced front lower control arms, front strut assemblies and front strut mounts all 4 sway bar links but man the effects are just something you can’t explain but you did as good of a job as anyone ive heard explaining it so thanks man I really appreciate it cuz I gotta get my girls suspension and blower motor swapped out which has started to look like it’s gonna be a nightmare. Just Wanted to take the time and tell you I genuinely appreciate you covering this topic, and putting the video out the effort does not go unnoticed
Thank you for the information. I have a recall on my Honda CRV 2011 for the rear trailing arm. I do have a vibrating when I stay at the speed 40. But I go over 40 no vibration. Going in to garage June 6 for repair.
Great vid you answered all my questions. Worried it was bearing when i moved tire but i got no sideways movement only up and down, exact way the control moves. Thanks
Death wobble is a scary ass thing to deal with holy hell
Yes it is
Ass wobbles?
My 2013 crosstreck trailing arm only has bushing on one end. How can you replace bushings on the other end where they connect ?
Thank you, you hit all the symptoms & clunking noise that’s been puzzling me. I can slightly twist or turn the trailing arm from side to side. Do you know how much the labor cost for this job?
Roughly $100-$300 per trailing arm.
Awesome video
Good info, helped me.
My car is very guilty.. Problem is I was in an accident a year ago on the rear side so I was thinking the welder didn't do a good job but I think my axle beam bushing is the culprit.... Thankyou so much
Have you ever replaces the rear lower control arm front bushing on a chevy uplander? Mine in knocking badly. Cant find a video on that. OMT said they dont have a tool for that.
thank you!
Recently my rear upper control arm bolt snapped . Wheel was at an angle holding on until I got it home . Once it got all fixed up , now when I do right turns on freeway junctions over 60mph the car gets a horrible death wobble almost feels as if it’s coming from the rear end . Could have it messed up the trailing arm possibly?
Thank you bro
All Facts . Bought a car . Took it to get a line up and found out after my warranty
Which one will cause more problem to a car? , trailing arm rod or control arm rod?
Control arm
Do leaf springs hold up better or should those be replaced when the begin to sag. I've never owned anything with trailing arms but thank you for the info I still love learning what I can for next time. Also have you ever used Electronic Engine repair sound detector / Steelman Wireless chassisEAR auto diagnostic tool. They let you clip onto things and you can listen via headphones to pin point or really hear and find a noise. Looks like a really neat tool if it's new to you somehow or helpful to others, great.
Leaf springs can handle more load but they do sag if the vehicle is constantly loaded with heavy material.

Hey brothe i have a 1986 cutlass i have lean on passenger i noticed when i k
Jack up my car on that sid the tire bends inward instead of keeps the tire to frame space
Intermittent shimmy?
Do I need to get an alignment after trailing arm replaced ?
Most likely but take it for a test drive first
I hear a clink noise in the rear but there are no parts that I can move by hand so I have no idea what it exactly is
What else causes death wobble aka speed wobble by some but man it’s actually terrifyingly dangerous
Never heard of this part
thanks for sharing.
@Jonathan-mp32x Wait, what? Neither my Buick Rendezvous, nor my Dodge Ram 1500 have trailing arms.
@Jonathan-mp32x didn't look at how old the comment was. The Rendezvous isn't a truck, it's a tall car. Some Rams have trailing arms, mine doesn't.
@Jonathan-mp32x Not sure what you're going for here. You said ALL cars have trailing arms, which is not true at all. I gave examples of cars that don't have trailing arms. Not trying to argue either, just pointing out the fact that your statement is false.
Let the record also show that my wife's Hyundai Sonata (a small sedan), also doesn't have trailing arms.
Thank you for the information; it definitely helps when trying to identify issues
