An apparatus and methods are provided for a trailing arm for a rear suspension of an off-road vehicle. The trailing arm comprises an axle support that has a cylindrical shape for supporting roller bearings whereby a wheel hub is rotatable relative to the trailing arm. A joined control arm extends forward of the axle support to an outboard control arm and an inboard control arm. The outboard and inboard control arms are configured to hingedly couple to a chassis of the vehicle. An outboard chassis mount and an inboard chassis mount operate as pivots that place the trailing arm into a hinged relationship with the chassis. The tailing arm is configured to be interchangeable between a driver side and a passenger side of the off-road vehicle. Bulkheads are arranged within an interior chamber of the tailing arm and configured to impart structural integrity to the tailing arm.
