No. The ONLY trailing arm that will work is one from an RT4wd wagon.

Just a tip: Having seen this happen before, I wonder if your problem isn't a bent rear crossmember. Look where the lower control arm bolts to the crossmember.

Plus a control arm is different from a trailing arm. The control arm is the arm that runs from the center of the chassis out towards the wheel, and the trailing arm is the one that runs from the front area back towards the wheel (trails from the front to the back).

If it's a trailing arm that you need, then it HAS to be from a Wagon, and it has to be either from a FWD Wagon if yours is FWD, or from an RT4WD if yours is 4WD. However, if what you need is in fact a lower control arm (LCA) then you can use one from a Civic hatch, CRX or sedan. If your Wagon is a 1988, you need a 1988 control arm. However if you wagon is a 1989 or newer, then you can use an arm from any 1989-1995 Civic or 1990-2001 Integra.

As Bam already mentioned though, if your LCA is bent, then the rear crossmember is probably bent as well.
