Rear Control Arms same as trailing arms?

[sewerman20]

I am looking to replace my rear control arms with a boxed set. Some catalog list them as control arms some list them as trailing arms, are they the same? The pictures look the same but I thought I would ask before I place order. Thanks in advance.

There is Crossmember reinforcement support bars which run from the upper control arm to the lower control arm. I have never heard them called trailing arms always upper and lower rear control arms. Just need to make sure they fit 68-72 Chevelle, El Camino and Monte, some of the Buick, Pontiac, Olds arms might fit as long as they are for a-bodies in that year range. There is a kit on the market to make a non-box control arm boxed and there is nice aftermarket kits as well.

ive seen them listed as rear trailing arms..so as long as they are listed as for the rear then your fine
