Keep the rear suspension tracking true with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm CMS301182, a direct-fit replacement for the 1993-1997 Nissan Altima. This is the rear forward lateral arm, helping locate the rear wheel and control its side-to-side movement so the suspension stays properly positioned through corners and over uneven pavement. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
Worn lateral arm bushings or a bent arm can show up as clunking or knocking from the rear on acceleration, deceleration, or shifting, uneven or accelerated tire wear, and a rear end that feels loose or wanders. Because those signs can have other causes, diagnose the suspension before replacing. If the original rear forward lateral arm is the cause, installing the CMS301182 replaces it.
