Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm P/N:CMS301182
Keep your Subaru's rear suspension located and predictable with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm CMS801046. This is a direct-fit replacement for the rear, rearward position on the 2003-2006 Subaru Forester, dropping in to help control side-to-side wheel movement and hold your rear alignment where it belongs. A lateral arm connects the suspension to the chassis and manages lateral (side-to-side) forces at the wheel; when the original wears out, handling can feel loose, alignment drifts, and you may hear clunking or notice uneven tire wear.
If a worn or damaged rear lateral arm is the cause of your clunking, wandering, or uneven tire wear, this Mevotech Supreme unit replaces it. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine-level fitment.
