Trying to figure out with a rear lower control arm is called on car-parts.com, the options are:

-Trailing Arm

-Locating Arm

Which one is it? Here's a picture of the part...

Lower control arm.

I know what it's called but on car-part.com you have to choose and I don't want to make the wrong choice.

Mr. Vapor

it literally is called the Lower Control Arm or "LCA"


Edit: just re-read your post. my money would be with trailing arm.

Okay if you go to car-part.com after you enter your info and click on control are-rear lower then it brings you to a another screen and gives you the option of trailing or locating. Hope this link works http://car-part.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi

I'll take your money then. Trailing arm is what the rear hub/brakes are on.

Its NOT trailing arm. It will either be that locating arm, or will be literally, "lower control arm."
