A lateral link helps locate the wheel side to side, and the ball joint lets that connection pivot as the suspension moves. Signs this assembly may need replacing include clunking from the rear over bumps, a loose or wandering feel, and uneven rear tire wear. Other suspension parts can cause the same signs, so diagnose the cause first. If a worn lateral link or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces both at once. Have the rear alignment checked after installation.
