Dorman - OE Solutions Lateral Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:526-664
Keep your Lexus or Toyota's rear wheel tracking true with the Dorman - OE Solutions Lateral Arm and Ball Joint Assembly (MPN 526-853). This rear lower forward lateral arm installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2015-2017 Lexus NX200T, 2018-2021 Lexus NX300, 2015-2021 Lexus NX300H, and 2011-2018 Toyota RAV4, arriving as a complete arm with the ball joint already pressed in so you swap the whole worn assembly in one step.
The lateral arm locates the rear wheel and helps maintain proper alignment, while the integrated ball joint lets the suspension articulate through its travel. Replacing a worn unit addresses play that can cause clunking over bumps, uneven tire wear, and imprecise handling — if the arm or its ball joint is the source of the problem.
Sold individually; the left and right sides tend to wear at a similar rate, so consider replacing both together for balanced rear-suspension performance. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.

What is the Dorman 526-853?
It's a rear lower forward lateral arm with an integrated ball joint that locates the rear wheel and helps maintain alignment, supplied as one pre-assembled unit.
Which vehicles does it fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2015-2017 Lexus NX200T, 2018-2021 Lexus NX300, 2015-2021 Lexus NX300H, and 2011-2018 Toyota RAV4.
Does the ball joint come already installed?
Yes. The ball joint is pressed into the arm, so you replace the complete assembly in a single step rather than servicing the joint separately.
How do I know if this part is worn?
Signs it may need replacing include clunking over bumps, uneven rear tire wear, and loose or imprecise handling — diagnose to confirm the arm or ball joint is the cause first.
Are mounting fasteners included?
Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused, since many suspension bolts are torque-to-yield single-use hardware.
