A lateral arm connects the rear wheel assembly to the vehicle's chassis and helps control side-to-side wheel movement and alignment. Signs one may need replacing include a visibly bent or damaged arm, clunking or rattling from the rear over bumps, uneven tire wear, or a rear alignment that will not stay in specification. If a worn or damaged lateral arm is the cause, this part replaces it, and a wheel alignment check after installation is recommended.
