A camber lateral link is a type of suspension control arm. It helps keep the rear wheel positioned side to side and at the intended camber angle. Dorman catalogs this link for the rear upper location on the left or right side. If a worn or bent link is the cause of uneven tire wear or a rear-end clunk, this unit is designed to replace it. That makes it a practical pick when you are shopping for a rear Ford Escape control arm.
Have the wheel alignment checked after installation. Follow the vehicle service information for torque specs and for whether the fasteners may be reused.
