Locate the rear wheels precisely and restore quiet, controlled handling with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm 102-6686, a direct replacement for the rear lower forward position. It drops in on the 1999-2003 Lexus RX300 and 2001-2003 Toyota Highlander — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail.
A control arm holds the rear knuckle in place and lets the suspension travel while keeping alignment settings stable. If worn bushings or a bent arm are behind clunking over bumps, uneven tire wear, or wandering steering, replacing the arm addresses those signs. Replace in matched pairs where the part installs left and right for balanced handling.
