Keep your rear wheel located and your handling composed with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm and Ball Joint Assembly (CMS86168) — the MEVOTECH lateral link that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2003 Toyota RAV4. This unit is cataloged for the rear right lower position; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
The lateral arm locates the rear wheel and controls its position through suspension travel, while the integrated ball joint allows the needed articulation. If a worn lateral arm or ball joint is the cause of clunking over bumps, uneven rear tire wear, or loose, vague handling, this assembly replaces it. Sold individually.
