Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm P/N:CMS861167
Keep your rear suspension properly located and aligned with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm CMS501006. This rear rearward lateral arm installs as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, including the 2000-2013 Chevrolet Impala and 2005-2010 Buick LaCrosse, along with many more Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile and Pontiac applications — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
A lateral arm helps locate the wheel and control side-to-side movement of the rear suspension, holding the geometry and alignment in place as the suspension travels. Over time a lateral arm can wear or corrode, allowing unwanted movement.
Signs a lateral arm may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the rear, uneven rear tire wear, wandering, or a rear alignment that won't hold. If a worn lateral arm is the cause, this CMS501006 replaces it. Have the rear suspension inspected and aligned after installation.
