Stratus V6-2.5L VIN H (1997)
Trailing Arm: Description and Operation
The lateral movement of the rear knuckle is controlled by the lateral arms going from the front and rear of the knuckle to the rear suspension
crossmember. Fore and aft movement of the knuckle is controlled by a trailing link.
The lateral arms and trailing link have rubber isolator bushings at each end to isolate suspension noise from the body of the vehicle.
The trailing link bolts to the bottom of the knuckle and to a bracket attached to the floor pan of the vehicle.
NOTE: Lateral links, trailing arms and knuckles are normally replaced only when the part has been damaged or when the vehicle has been involved in
an accident. If a suspension part has been damaged, be sure to check the underbody dimensions of the car. If the underbody dimensions are not correct,
the frame of the vehicle must be straightened, before replacement suspension components are installed.
