Dorman - OE Solutions Lateral Arm P/N:527-536
Keep your rear wheels tracking true with the Dorman - OE Solutions Toe Compensator Link / Lateral Arm 520-536, a direct-fit replacement for the 1988-1991 Honda Civic and 1988-1991 Honda CRX. It is cataloged for the rear lower forward position on both the left and right sides. It helps locate the rear wheel and hold toe alignment as the suspension moves. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine and trim details.
Dorman describes this part as a suspension lateral arm, and the catalog lists it as a toe compensator link, so you may find it under either name.
A worn or bent toe compensator link may cause several signs. These include uneven rear tire wear, a clunk or rattle from the rear over bumps, wandering handling, or a rear alignment that won't stay in spec. If this link is the cause, the 520-536 replaces it. Inspect the rest of the rear suspension, and have the alignment checked after installation. Replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling.
