What It Helps Fix

• Rear suspension clunking from worn bushings
• Excessive rear-end movement under load

• Loose or unstable rear handling feel
• Corrosion-damaged or bent lateral arm replacement needs

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear left lower or rear right lower position before installation. Compare the original arm length, mounting points, and bushing condition to confirm the correct replacement. Because this is a non-adjustable arm, proper installation on the correct side and position is important for restoring suspension geometry on Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango models. Part number 524-273 should be matched to the vehicle’s year and rear suspension configuration before service.
