Want to know the relationship between the rear trailing arm and the control arm. If you had the rear trailing arm fixed because of recall then 2 months later they say the control arm came loose and broke the ABS sensor. Is there a connection between the rear trailing arm and the control arm

have starter checked -also recall is for a rear trailing arm premature wear

It's called a control arm. Sway bar is definitely not one of the names. The other two could be, but for different manufactures. And the parts look different. But have the same funtion.

trailing link arm.
your car is a danger to you and all others on the road
take to any welding shop and get it fixed.
do not assume, (no photos posted) its a simple new arm fix.
do not, get a metal man to look, and do what HE says.
or bad happens.
may times (in the salt belt are you) it needs frame patches.

check the shocks, stabilizer bar links and bushings,trailing arm and lower control arm bushings and looseness in the rear wheel bearings.

there were some recalls on those control arms and/or trailing arms

make sure the movement you feel is not there

btw... are you getting the movement when shaking the wheel top/bottom or side/side

If you know that your driver-side rear wheel is out-of-camber, then you must also know that your alignment is compromised. Not specifying what car / model / year doesn't matter... the rear suspension geometry on your vehicle is now broken / bent - and it must be fixed. Go straight to a dealer (the local garage doesn't have the experience) and get an inspection done.
Once the diagnosis is in, you can shop for repair prices.
In the meantime, DO NOT DRIVE at speeds above 40mp/h or 65km/h. You could easily lose control of the vehicle and crash... and the law will show it was your fault because your car was mechanically unsound.

If I recall correctly, the axles have splines into the diff and also into the hubs. Removing the diff requires the trailing arms to be disconnected from the control arms to swing the axles enough to slip out of the diff.

Im 100% positive that your problem is caused by worn out trailing arm bushings.
