How to Remove a Trailing Arm on 2008 Dodge Caliber?

Question

Accepted Answer

Before you take out the trailing arm, raise and support the vehicle. After that, unscrew the wheel mounting nuts and remove the tire and wheel together. Free the screw holding the brake flex hose in place on the trailing link and then remove the nut that holds the brake tube routing bracket to the trailing link. Take off the brake tube from the routing clip attached to the rear lower arm. After that, detach the two screws holding the DBC adapter to the brake support plate, then pull the whole assembly out from the brake area, ensuring it isn't stretched by the brake hose and tubing. When equipped, take out the screw on the wheel speed sensor's end and the routing clip that holds it to the trailing link. Subsequently, come out of the car, remove the brake rotor and replace the hub and bearing. Open the parking brake lever, grasp the cable and slide the hair pin off the brake support plate. Cut the brake support plate off the brake cable end and pull that cable away from the trailing link. After that, remove the bolt holding the toe link to the trailing link, as well as the nut and bolt attaching the lower control arm to the trailer link. After that, take out the nut and bolt that hold the upper control arm to the trailing link. After that, undo the two bolts that hold the leading end of the trailing link to the body and remove the trailing link.
