    The trailing arm is the triangle shaped swingarm- A rear wheel hub and shock mount to it, effectively.

    The pitman arms are the little dogbone shaped guys.

    There's a good chance that the 'Pitman Arm' and the "Trailing Arm Connecting Link" are the same thing. The pitman arm does connect to the trailing arm...

    To be sure, you should contact whomever you are thinking of ordering the parts from. Is it BMA? I think they list them as "Trailing Arm Connecting links" on the web, but call them up and they will be sure to get you the correct parts.

    Other parts that wear out: Well, everything, eventually! The rear subframe mounts, shocks, trailing arm bushings, shock mounts, it all goes at some point. Sounds like you need to get under there and do a little analysis.
