Keep your Kia's rear suspension located and tracking true with the Mevotech Supreme Lateral Arm CMS901145, a direct-fit replacement for the rear forward position. It bolts in for the 1997-2001 Kia Sephia and the 2000-2004 Kia Spectra — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
The lateral arm links the suspension to the chassis and helps control side-to-side wheel movement, keeping rear alignment and ride stability consistent. Worn arms or their bushings can show up as clunks, uneven tire wear, or a rear end that wanders under cornering.
If a failed or worn lateral arm is behind your rear clunk or alignment issue, this replaces it. Inspect the mating bushings and hardware and torque to the vehicle's service specification.
