Hi, Tom,
The trailing arms-strictly semi trailing arms-are those items which swivel
on the frame, immediately in front of the rear wheel arches, and lead back
to the rear hubs. When viewed from above (or below) they are roughly
triangular and form the mounting for the rear wheel.
The front of your car uses wide based, unequal lenght wishbones, providing
location at the top and bottom of the front upriight which carries the stub
axle on which the hub spins.
Cheers,
