BX rear trailing arm wanted

I require a rear n/s trailing arm for my 1991 (J) BX Meteor.

Could anyone please advise where I could get one ?

Many thanks

How bad is the old one? Is there damage to the area that the bearing race sits in? If not, you may be able to re-use the old one.

The current trailing arm is in a bad way, and needs complete replacement.

I am looking to source one.

As a last resort, one may come off my "old" BX, or have to be obtained via Citroen (probably an expensive option).

I've yet to see a trailing arm that's actually beyond recovering. Unless your current one is actually bent or broken in some way I'm sure it's recoverable with a file and some chemical metal.

Bear in mind that the area that gets damaged by the bearings falling apart is where the oil seal is pressed into, so as long as it's smooth and the oil seal actually seals, it doesn't have to be strong.

I'm pleased to say that I've now obtyained one in good condition from a scrap Meteor locally, plus some other bits !

Cheers
