A trailing arm assembly for a wheel axle suspension comprises a trailing arm having a front end portion including a first eye part integrally formed with the remainder of the trailing arm by a metal forming process, and an attachment portion, located at a distance from the front end portion, configured to attach an axle body to the trailing arm. The assembly furthermore comprises a second, separately formed eye part. The first eye part and second eye part each have a recess with a, at least partial, cylindrical segment shape, wherein, in an assembled state, the first and second eye parts are arranged opposite each other such that the recesses define a pivot eye adapted to pivotally attach the trailing arm to a vehicle chassis. The first eye part and the second eye part are adapted to be tightened together, in the assembled state, by at least one bolt or U-bolt.
