Trailing Arm
XRF Chassis has the top-of-the-line trailing arm and trailing arm suspension parts for sale. These parts are absolutely essential components of many cars’ suspension systems for keeping you and your car safe – so don’t skimp on quality!
The Importance of These Arms
These rear suspension arms connect your car’s wheel hub to the vehicle’s chassis, which lets the rear wheels move in accord with the suspension while keeping them properly aligned. This is essential for:
- Control of Rear Wheels: These arms guide the motion of the rear wheels in line with changes in the suspension which keeps proper alignment.
- Stability: In keeping the back wheels stable and aligned, trailing arms help make the car more stable and handleable when accelerating, braking, and turning.
- Absorption: These arms help the suspension absorb shocks from the road. Without them, you would have an incredibly uncomfortable ride.
- Support for Suspension: These arms help reduce the strain on other suspension components by absorbing some of the road shock.
What to Look For
As is the case with other suspension components, the gradual deterioration of these parts can be easily missed. Given that the early warning signs can be subtle, regular maintenance is essential. Here are the key signs of a worn out trailing arm:
- Uneven Tire Wear: Misalignment of the rear wheels can lead to uneven tire wear which is often due to a worn out or damaged arm.
- “Clunking” Sounds: A damaged trailing arm suspension can lead to a clunking sound while driving.
- Handling Issues: If the arm is very damaged this can cause notable handling issues, especially when accelerating, braking, or turning.
- Vibrations: A faulty arm can compromise the suspension system’s ability to absorb shocks from the road, which can lead to vibrations, especially on poorer quality roads.
