swingarm
Rear wheel connector
A swingarm is a hinged suspension component that connects a wheel to a vehicle's frame, allowing the wheel to move up and down over bumps while staying aligned.
Most commonly found on motorcycles, where the rear swingarm pivots at one end near the engine and holds the rear axle at the other: The bike's aluminum swingarm keeps weight down without sacrificing rigidity.
