Type 25 Rear Trailing Arm - Right

This brand new replacement rear trailing arm is designed for Volkswagen Type 25 / T3 models, supplying a complete solution for restoring rear suspension geometry and handling. Supplied with pre-installed bushes, it allows for a quicker and more efficient installation compared to refurbishing worn original arms.

The trailing arm forms a key part of the rear suspension, connecting the wheel hub assembly to the chassis while allowing controlled vertical movement. It maintains correct wheel alignment, supports braking forces, and ensures stable handling. Over time, original arms can suffer from corrosion, worn bushes, or distortion, leading to poor handling, uneven tyre wear, knocking noises, or vague rear-end stability.

This replacement arm restores proper suspension operation, improving ride quality and maintaining correct alignment—particularly important on heavier vehicles such as campers and vans.
