SKP Lateral Arm,Suspension Control Arm P/N:SK521641
Maintain precise wheel alignment and steady handling with the SKP Lateral Arm / Suspension Control Arm (SK521642). This rear lower forward lateral arm can serve the left or right side and installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Outlander, 2004-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer, 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber, 2007-2017 Jeep Compass, and 2007-2017 Jeep Patriot — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications.
The control arm locates the wheel and helps maintain proper wheel alignment. A worn arm can lead to uneven tire wear and imprecise steering; if the arm is the cause, replacing it helps address those symptoms.
Replacing the matching arm on the opposite side at the same time is good practice for balanced, even handling.
