Dorman - OE Solutions Lateral Arm P/N:527-180
Hold your Ford's rear wheel alignment steady with the Dorman - OE Solutions Lateral Arm / Rear Toe Link 527-367, an OE FIX upgrade that installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer and 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. This is the rear upper forward toe link, the adjustable link that sets rear toe and helps keep the rear suspension tracking true.
The factory rear toe link can fail when the weld connecting the threaded shaft to the bushing housing fractures, which significantly diminishes steering control. This Dorman OE FIX design replaces the original 14mm diameter threaded shaft and weld point with a solid, one-piece steel casting that integrates an 18mm shaft with the bushing housing, and adds a larger 20mm weld at the bracket end in place of the factory 14mm weld to help improve suspension load distribution.
Signs the original toe link may need replacing include a cracked or separated weld, imprecise rear-end handling, or uneven rear tire wear; have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing.
