As a rear upper control arm, it connects the rear suspension to the chassis, locating the wheel and allowing controlled suspension travel. If a worn or damaged original arm is behind clunking over the rear, poor handling, or uneven rear tire wear, replacing it with this unit helps restore proper geometry. Have the alignment checked after installation.
