As a lateral arm wears, you may notice clunking or knocking from the rear suspension, uneven tire wear, or a vehicle that drifts and feels loose. If a worn lateral arm is the cause, replacing it with the CMS90173 helps restore the proper location of the rear wheel. Diagnose the source of the symptom before ordering, and inspect the opposite side while servicing.
