Checking trailing arm

Dismantling trailing arm from rear torsion beam

Checking trailing arm

Check that the trailing arm is not cracked, deformed or worn (on the surface on the wheel side), otherwise it will have to be replaced. If the bearings and spacer (arrowed) are replaced because of noisiness or excessive play, the trailing arm must be replaced.

Checking rear torsion beam

Check that the rear beam is not cracked or deformed, or misaligned between the two side arms, otherwise it will have to be replaced.
