Dorman - OE Solutions Alignment Camber Lateral Link P/N:521-418
Help hold your rear wheels at the right camber angle with this Dorman control arm, an alignment camber lateral link, part number 521-421. It is a direct replacement for the 2001-2008 Ford Escape, the 2001-2006 and 2008 Mazda Tribute, and the 2005-2008 Mercury Mariner. The catalog lists it for the rear left upper and rear right upper positions, and it is classified under control arm with ball joint.
This lateral link helps locate the rear wheel and hold its camber setting as the suspension moves. Dorman designed and tested it as a replacement for the original equipment on these specific vehicles.
Signs this link may need replacing include uneven or inside-edge rear tire wear, an alignment that will not hold its camber setting, clunking or looseness from the rear suspension, and worn or torn bushings. Diagnose the cause before you replace parts. Because this link affects camber, have the wheel alignment checked after installation. For engine and trim details, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
