Buick Rainier Trailing Arm
The Buick Rainier Trailing Arm links the rear axle to the chassis, controlling wheel motion to give the SUV confident stability and predictable handling. Anchoring the axle at a forward pivot point on each Trailing Arm helps stop unwanted fore and aft wander and keeps tire contact flat during acceleration, braking, and cornering. The early Rainier models feature a Trailing Arm configuration with two stout arms and a lateral rod configuration, which is great for strong live axle support. However, the architecture still allows for plenty of vertical movement on Buick SUVs. Later editions use a form of a semi Trailing Arm design, whereby each wheel is mounted to a broader triangular arm that pivots at two points of the chassis, so rear wheels move more independently over bumps, smoothing the ride and freeing up space in the cargo floor. All types of Trailing Arm are made of sturdy steel that resists flex. The pivot count and freedom to articulate are the main differences. The semi style gives up a little bit of ultimate towing rigidity in exchange for a lighter weight and greater comfort. All Rainier remain surefooted and responsive while maintaining the Buick nameplate's composed road feel.
