Help keep the rear wheels properly located with the Dorman - OE Solutions Control Arm 521-837, a rear lower rearward control arm built as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2000 Honda Civic and the 1997-2000 Acura EL. The catalog lists it for the rear lower rearward position on both the left and right sides. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine and trim details.

This Dorman control arm is precision-engineered and thoroughly tested to serve as a reliable stand-in for the original equipment on the listed vehicles. It is designed to fit and perform like the factory arm it replaces.

  • Direct replacement: designed to fit and perform like the original equipment on the listed applications.

  • Durable construction: built to strict standards from sturdy, safe materials.
  • Rigorously tested: thorough quality-control checks, aimed at longevity.

A rear lower control arm ties the wheel assembly to the chassis and helps hold suspension geometry as the wheel moves. Signs it may need replacing include clunking from the rear suspension over bumps, uneven tire wear, wandering, or a visibly bent or damaged arm. Diagnose the cause first; if a worn or bent arm is the problem, this Dorman lower control arm replaces it. When the opposite side shows similar wear, replacing both sides together is recommended, and a wheel alignment check is advised after installation.
