Type 25 Rear Trailing Arm - Left

This brand new replacement rear trailing arm is designed for Volkswagen Type 25 / T3 models, providing a complete solution to restore rear suspension performance and correct geometry. Supplied with pre-installed bushes, it simplifies installation and removes the need to press in new bushes to an old arm.

The trailing arm is a key structural part of the rear suspension, connecting the wheel hub to the chassis while allowing controlled movement over bumps. It keeps the rear wheel correctly aligned under load and during braking. Over time, original arms can suffer from corrosion, worn bushes, or distortion, leading to symptoms such as rear-end instability, knocking noises, uneven tyre wear, or poor handling.

Replacing the trailing arm restores proper suspension alignment and improves overall driving stability—especially important on camper vans and heavily loaded vehicles.
