Keep your Subaru's rear suspension properly located and tracking straight with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm (CMS801062). This link installs in the rear left rearward position, locating the wheel and controlling side-to-side movement to help maintain rear wheel alignment and stable handling. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2002 Subaru Forester, the 1997-2007 Subaru Impreza, and the 1997-1999 Subaru Legacy — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Over time a lateral arm's pivots and bushings wear, which can show up as clunking or knocking from the rear over bumps, uneven or accelerated tire wear, alignment that won't hold, or loose, vague handling. If a worn rear left rearward link is the cause, this arm replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing, and consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
