Yes, there are trailing arms on the rear suspension. Jack the car up so you can see the rear suspension. There are a total of 6 arms, 3 per side on the rear. 1 arm per side extends fore aft/longitudinally, and the other 2 extend laterally, 1 of which is the toe control arm (closest to the rear of the car) and the other is the main control arm.

Does that help?

BTW-The trailing arms do have a "kink" in them for clearance. Find someone with the same car and compare. Normally, the toe control arms are the ones which get bent....
