4 SIGNS OF A WORN TRAILING ARM BUSHING

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.

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

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.

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.

What else causes death wobble aka speed wobble by some but man it’s actually terrifyingly dangerous

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?

Do I need to get an alignment after trailing arm replaced ?

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

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.

My 2013 crosstreck trailing arm only has bushing on one end. How can you replace bushings on the other end where they connect ?

Which one will cause more problem to a car?, trailing arm rod or control arm rod?

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

Thank you for the information; it definitely helps when trying to identify issues
