A lateral arm may need replacing if you notice any of these signs: clunking or knocking from the rear over bumps, a vague or wandering feel, uneven tire wear, or trouble holding a rear alignment. A bent arm after a curb or pothole impact is another reason to replace it. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts, because other suspension components can produce similar symptoms. Have the rear alignment checked after installation.
