Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm is precision-engineered and tested to replace the original equipment arm on specific vehicles. The steel body, welded ball joint mounting point, and rubber bushing are selected to match the demands of rear suspension service while maintaining the adjustability needed for alignment correction. This part number 522-676 is listed for 2000-2005 Toyota Celica, 2003-2006 Pontiac Vibe, and 2003-2013 Toyota Matrix rear upper positions, making it a practical choice when servicing rear camber on these platforms. This part cross-references Delphi TC7214 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear camber out of specification after suspension wear or impact
• Clunking or looseness from a worn rear upper control arm bushing
• Uneven tire wear caused by rear alignment issues
• Restoring rear suspension geometry after control arm damage
• Replacing a corroded or fatigued OE rear upper arm

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle position before ordering: this arm is listed for rear left upper and rear right upper applications depending on the vehicle. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct hardware separately as needed. An alignment should be performed after installation to set rear camber within the specified adjustment range. Confirm fitment against the vehicle year, make, model, and rear suspension configuration before installation.

Dorman designs this control arm as a replacement for the original equipment part and subjects it to testing for fit and function on the listed applications. Part number 522-676 is built to meet the needs of service replacement on Toyota Matrix, Pontiac Vibe, and Toyota Celica rear suspension systems.
