<P> A trailing - arm suspension, sometimes referred as trailing - link is a vehicle suspension design in which one or more arms (or "links") are connected between (and perpendicular to and forward of) the axle and a pivot point (located on the chassis of a motor vehicle). It is typically used on the rear axle of a motor vehicle . A leading arm, as used on the Citroën 2CV and the M422 Mighty Mite, has an arm connected between (and perpendicular to, and to the rear of) the axle and the chassis . It is used on the front axle . </P> <P> Trailing - arm designs in live axle setups often use just two or three links and a Panhard rod to locate the wheel laterally . A trailing arm design can also be used in an independent suspension arrangement . Each wheel hub is located only by a large, roughly triangular arm that pivots at one point, ahead of the wheel . Seen from the side, this arm is roughly parallel to the ground, with the angle changing based on road irregularities . A twist - beam rear suspension is very similar except that the arms are connected by a beam, used to locate the wheels and which twists and has an anti-roll effect . </P>
