Keep your rear suspension located and tracking true with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm CMS401118, a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2019 Ford Escape (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). This is the rear upper lateral arm, which helps position the wheel and maintain proper suspension geometry as the suspension moves through its travel.
Worn lateral-arm bushings or a bent arm can show up as clunking or knocking from the rear, uneven tire wear, or a rear end that feels loose or wanders. If the original arm is the cause, installing this replacement restores the correct mounting points. Have an alignment performed after installation.
