Dorman - OE Solutions Alignment Camber Lateral Link P/N:522-642
Help hold your rear wheels at the correct camber angle with the Dorman - OE Solutions Alignment Camber Lateral Link 522-676, a Dorman control arm built as a direct replacement for the 2003-2006 and 2009-2013 Toyota Matrix, the 2003-2006 and 2009-2010 Pontiac Vibe, and the 2000-2005 Toyota Celica. It is cataloged for the rear upper position and fits either the left or right side.
A camber lateral link runs between the rear wheel carrier and the chassis. It helps locate the wheel side to side and keeps its camber angle within the alignment specification. Dorman precision-engineers and tests this link to serve as a dependable substitute for the original equipment on the listed vehicles.
A bent or worn link can cause uneven rear tire wear, knocking from the rear suspension, or a wandering feel. If this link is the cause, this Dorman suspension control arm replaces it. Replacing the left and right links together is recommended for an even alignment on both sides, and the wheel alignment should be checked after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific fitment details.

What does an alignment camber lateral link do?
It helps locate the rear wheel side to side and holds its camber angle. That angle affects how the tire sits on the road and how evenly it wears.
Which side of the vehicle does the 522-676 install on?
The catalog lists it for the rear upper position on both the left and right sides. Replacing both sides together is recommended for an even alignment.
What are signs this link may need replacing?
Signs include uneven or inner-edge rear tire wear, knocking from the rear suspension, or a wandering feel. Inspect the suspension to confirm the cause before replacing any parts.
Do I need a wheel alignment after installing it?
A wheel alignment check is recommended after replacing a camber link because the part directly affects rear wheel angles. Follow the vehicle service information for installation steps.
