We have been getting a lot of questions and inquiries on the different styles of trailing arms we offer so I figured I would make a quick post with an explanation of each. The trailing arms are a key component to helping control wheel hop and improving handling. Anytime you install aftermarket trailing arms it is really recommended that you go ahead and swap out the factory outer trailing arm bushing also to a poly-urethane aftermarket outer trailing are bushing like our BMR part number BK006. Installing a good set of trailing arms and outer trailing arm bushings really makes a considerable difference when it comes to controlling wheel hop on the late model Camaros especially the automatic transmission equipped vehicles. The manual transmission equipped vehicles are a little more challenging to control wheel hop on since the launch and shifts are more violent but the trailing arms and outer trailing arms are a good place to start.

BMR outer trailing arm bushing (BK006)


These bushings replace the deflection prone factory outer trailing arm bushing offering better suspension control in turn improving wheel hop and handling. Here is the link to nice DIY write-up for these bushings:

BMR non-adjustable trailing arm w/ poly-urethane bushings (TCA026)


The BMR non-adjustable trailing arm w/ poly-urethane bushings (TCA026) are by far the most popular trailing arm we manufacture. They are super affordable and perform awesome for street use and some extracurricular racing activities. As popular as these trailing arms are, they definitely are not the best option for everybody. Since these trailing arms are equipped with poly-urethane bushings they are not a good option for people making a bunch of power or people who are planning on racing their car a lot. If this is the case you would really want to look at our BMR part numbers TCA027 or TCA033.

BMR non-adjustable trailing arms w/ spherical bearings (TCA027)


The BMR non-adjustable trailing arms w/ spherical bearings (TCA027) are arguably the strongest trailing arms available. They are made of boxed tubing and utilize a spherical bearing so not only are they super strong but they offer full articulation without binding. These trailing arms will take anything you can throw at them so they are ideal for someone making a bunch of power or someone who plans on really racing their car. The two negatives that I hear from time to time about these trailing arms are that they are a bit pricey and that they are a little heavier than the factory trailing arms. Using the spherical bearing in this arm is what really increases the price unfortunately but that is the one thing that also really allows them to take the abuse they are capable of. As far as the weight goes, having a little extra weight with the trailing arms isn’t really too bad because it actually helps with the suspension stability which in turn helps with the wheel hop.

BMR adjustable trailing arm w/ rod ends (TCA033)


The BMR adjustable trailing arm w/ rod ends (TCA033) were designed to be a lighter weight option that could still handle the extreme abuse of high horsepower and racing. These are the same trailing arms we use in our 15” wheel drag race suspension package (DRP007) so they are designed for optimal performance. The TCA033 trailing arms are also the same trailing arms used on our BMR 2010 Camaro shop car and the American Racing Headers 2010 Camaro which just ran a 8.57 at 158 MPH at the last Camaro5 Fest.
