Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm P/N:CMS901240
Keep your Mazda's rear wheel geometry planted with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm (CMS76127). It installs as a direct-fit replacement in the rear lower forward position on the 1999-2003 Mazda Protege and 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application list. A lateral arm locates the wheel and controls its side-to-side movement, working with the other suspension links to hold alignment as the suspension travels.
Signs the original lateral arm may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the rear suspension over bumps, uneven rear tire wear, and loose or wandering handling. Because these symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the source before ordering. If a worn lateral arm is the cause, this Mevotech Supreme unit replaces it in the factory location.
