Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm P/N:CMS40193
Keep the rear suspension located and tracking true with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm (CMS861282). It installs as the rear lower rearward lateral arm and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2003 Lexus ES300 and 2004-2006 Lexus ES330. A lateral arm connects the wheel carrier to the vehicle structure, controlling side-to-side wheel movement and helping hold the rear wheel in its designed position for stable, predictable handling and even tire wear.
Worn or bent lateral arms can show up as clunking or knocking from the rear over bumps, a wandering or loose feel, uneven tire wear, or alignment that will not hold. If a failed lateral arm is the cause of those symptoms, this arm replaces it and provides a new rear locating point. Because it is a rear suspension locating component, have the alignment checked and set after installation.
