Dorman - OE Solutions Lateral Arm P/N:528-252
Help bring back steady, predictable handling at the back of your car with the Dorman - OE Solutions Lateral Arm, part number 528-249. It is a direct-fit replacement for the rear lower forward position on the 2009-2015 Nissan Maxima, built to take the place of a worn or damaged original arm.
A lateral arm is a suspension link. It helps locate the wheel side to side and keeps the rear suspension geometry where it belongs as the suspension moves. If a bent or worn original arm is the cause of wandering, uneven tire wear or knocking from the rear, this arm replaces it.
See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether the originals may be reused, and have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
