Rear Trailing Arms

The Steeda Explorer Rear Trailing Arms are engineered to enhance the handling and stability of 2011 and later Ford Explorers. Constructed from thick-walled, drawn-over-mandrel (DOM) steel tubing with seamless construction, these arms offer superior strength and resistance to flexing compared to the factory components. The chassis-side connection points are fitted with high-durometer polyurethane bushings, which effectively reduce the unwanted slop and looseness associated with the original rubber bushings, all without introducing additional noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH). Further enhancing their robustness, the arms feature a welded gusset plate at the IRS connection point to combat flex and twisting under extreme conditions. This design ensures a more predictable and stable feel, particularly beneficial during spirited driving and towing applications. The arms are finished in a battleship gray powder coat, providing a tough, corrosion-resistant, and visually appealing surface that is resistant to chipping. The trailing arms are sold as a pair and are not side-specific, simplifying installation. They directly replace OE part number BB53-5B674-AA, and reuse stock bolts, though bolts are not included. These trailing arms are proudly made in the USA using high-grade materials and come with a limited lifetime warranty. Steeda offers an easy installation process, making them a straightforward upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved vehicle dynamics and towing stability. The use of high-strength DOM tube steel and precisely engineered polyurethane bushings ensures long-lasting performance and durability.
