Help keep the rear wheel located and aligned with the Dorman control arm, part number 521-856, a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2006 Chevrolet Equinox, 2006 Pontiac Torrent and 2002-2007 Saturn Vue. It is cataloged for the rear right lower position, where it links the wheel assembly to the chassis and lets the wheel travel up and down as the suspension moves. Dorman precision-engineers and rigorously tests this arm as a replacement for the original equipment on specific vehicles.
Signs a rear lower control arm may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, a vague or wandering feel, and uneven rear tire wear. Other worn suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. This Dorman suspension control arm is sold individually, and replacing both sides together is recommended. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused, and have the alignment checked after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete application details.
