When it
goes into droop wheel base decreases and when in bump wheel base increases. This is because the
wheel moves in circular arc about the pivot axis when seen in side view. Semi trailing arm is parallel
or with some angle to the cars longitudinal axis. It is of two type

For bushing Baja vehicles have always used Delrin Nylon for all the suspension bushings due to its
durability and ease of machining. In the past it has been proven that Delran Nylon can withstand wear
and provide very smooth connections. Different cheaper material like HDPE (High Density
Polyethylene) bushings starts wearing resulting in compliance in the suspension mechanism
connections. In order to avoid any risks, Bronze oil impregnated is used to make the bushings, this
material has a much higher wear resistance yet at the same time it is much heavier.
Another bushing material used is POM (Polyoxymethylene). This material properties are

1 and 2 be the tensile and compressive force respectively. 1 & 2 is calculated by formula

Where,
The maximum and minimum compression and tension was checked in trailing arm.
If you have a single rigid trailing arm instead of two (upper and lower) control arm the intersection of
forces 1&2 is taken as virtually pivot point. And the realation becomes -
