Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm P/N:CMS861167
Keep your Subaru's rear suspension precisely located with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm CMS801211, a direct-fit replacement for the rear forward (rear lower forward) position. It bolts in for the 2003-2006 Subaru Baja, 2000-2009 Subaru Legacy, and 2000-2010 Subaru Outback — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level list. The lateral arm helps position the wheel and control suspension geometry; worn bushings or a bent arm can show up as clunking, uneven tire wear, or alignment that won't hold.
If a worn or damaged lateral arm is behind your handling or alignment issue, this Mevotech Supreme unit installs directly in its place. Have the vehicle aligned after installation, and consult the service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
