Dorman - OE Solutions Lateral Arm P/N:523-011
Help keep your rear wheels where they belong with the Dorman - OE Solutions Lateral Arm, part number 523-276. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2016 Cadillac SRX and installs in the rear upper forward position on either the left or the right side.
A lateral arm is a suspension link that ties the rear wheel assembly to the vehicle's structure. It controls the wheel's side-to-side position as the suspension moves. Dorman designed this arm as a direct replacement intended to fit and perform like the original equipment on the listed application.
Signs a lateral arm may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the rear over bumps, uneven or early rear tire wear, a rear alignment that won't stay in specification, or an arm that is visibly bent or damaged. Other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If the lateral arm is the problem, this part replaces it. When one side is worn, inspect the opposite side as well. Follow the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and torque values, and have a wheel alignment done after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine and trim details.
