Meyle develops new rear axle trailing arm
Meyle has developed a new rear axle trailing arm to fit BMW 5, 6 and 7 Series models to make sure repair professionals always have the right part at hand.
Thanks to its re-engineered ball pin and steel shims it replaces two different original designs making the part fully compliant with any year of manufacture, Meyle says.
Meyle’s rear axle trailing arm, offers a repair solution designed to reduce repair effort while preventing installation of an incorrect part, the company says.
What makes this new development so special, according to the compay, is that in-house engineers have redesigned the ball pin of the rear axle trailing arm to fit all BMW models of the 5, 6 and 7 Series, whichever year they have been manufactured.
The original version also uses different steel shims firmly attached to the assembly. This is why the MEYLE rear axle trailing arm comes with the requisite mounting hardware and installation information plus two made-to-measure steel shims for the mechanic to pick the one corresponding to the ball joint.
