Keep the rear suspension located and tracking true with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm (CMS40134). This is the rear lower forward lateral arm, a direct-fit replacement for the 1995 Ford Contour and 1995 Mercury Mystique. It positions the wheel and helps control side-to-side movement so alignment angles stay where the factory set them.
As it wears, the arm can let the wheel shift under load. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the rear over bumps, uneven or accelerated tire wear, and alignment that drifts out of spec. Diagnose the cause first; if a worn lateral arm is the source, this replaces it. Replacing the side-to-side arms as a matched pair can help keep rear handling balanced.
