Detailed Description

This Dorman lateral arm, part number 521-886, is made for rear lower suspension service on select Nissan vehicles. It is a direct replacement style component for the rear lower position on 2008-2022 Nissan X-Trail, 2008-2020 Nissan Rogue, 2014-2015 Nissan Rogue Select, 2017-2023 Nissan Qashqai, and 2017-2022 Nissan Rogue Sport.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK642107 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear suspension looseness from worn lateral arm bushings
• Clunking or knocking from the rear lower suspension area
• Uneven rear tire wear related to suspension movement
• Incorrect rear wheel alignment caused by worn linkage components
• Restoring factory-style rear lower arm mounting on Nissan Rogue and Nissan X-Trail platforms

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, model, and rear lower position before ordering. This part is not adjustable and does not include a ball joint. Because suspension bushings affect alignment and ride height geometry, a professional alignment check after installation is recommended. Confirm all mounting points and surrounding rear suspension components are in serviceable condition before replacement.
