Rear trailing arms

I took my rear trailing arms off about a month ago,
I put one on the right side of work area, and the other on
the left side of my work area. However they were moved.

So now the question is... is there a difference between the right
side and the left? They mostly look the same, but one has a
couple of holes in it that the other side doesn't have.

Re: Rear trailing arms

There will be a bracket for the parking brake cable on each trailing arm they go on the outside, once you look at it there is only one way they can be installed.

Agreed. If you are not running a park brake then there is not a wrong way. With out the bracket, the trailing arms are identical, left to right. The brackets for the park brake (like Xeen mentioned) is the only difference between left and right and the only way to install them correctly is with the bracket on the outside.

Hope this helps,
Tom
