Help keep your rear suspension properly located with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm, part number CMS251048, a rear forward lateral arm with a protective surface treatment that resists corrosion. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2000-2005 Dodge Neon, 2003-2005 Dodge SX 2.0 and 2000-2002 Chrysler Neon, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.

A lateral arm is a suspension link that helps locate the wheel from side to side and supports correct alignment as the suspension moves. If the original arm is bent, rusted or worn, this Mevotech Supreme unit is designed to replace it in the rear forward position.
Signs a lateral arm may need replacing include clunking from the rear over bumps, wandering or vague handling, uneven tire wear and an alignment that won't hold. Other suspension components can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. Follow the vehicle service information for torque specifications and fastener reuse, and have the alignment checked after installation.
