Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm P/N:CMS501005
Keep your rear suspension located and tracking true with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm CMS60156, a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2003 Acura CL, 1999-2003 Acura TL, and 1998-2002 Honda Accord (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications). This is the rear lower forward lateral arm, which helps position the rear wheel and maintain proper alignment geometry as the suspension moves.
Signs this lateral arm may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the rear suspension on acceleration, deceleration, or over uneven pavement, uneven or accelerated tire wear, and cracked or worn bushings. If a worn lateral arm is the cause of these symptoms, replacing it with the CMS60156 restores the affected suspension link. Always diagnose the underlying cause before replacing, and it is good practice to replace suspension links in matched pairs where applicable for balanced handling. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners, alignment procedure, and torque specifications.
