Product Details

This Dorman lateral arm, part number 524-489, is engineered for the rear left rearward suspension position and follows the original equipment layout used on select Subaru rear suspension systems. The steel tubular design and rubber bushing help restore proper suspension geometry and secure mounting where the original arm has worn, bent, or corroded. It is a direct-fit replacement for 1993-2007 Subaru Impreza, 1998-2002 Subaru Forester, and 1994-1999 Subaru Legacy rear left rearward applications.

For buyers searching for a rear lateral arm for Subaru Impreza, Forester, or Legacy, Dorman 524-489 provides an OE-style replacement path without requiring a ball joint or grease fitting. The part number 524-489 is also a useful reference when comparing suspension replacement options against other catalog listings.

What It Helps Fix

  • Rear suspension looseness from a worn lateral arm bushing
  • Clunking or knocking from damaged rear suspension hardware
  • Uneven rear wheel alignment caused by a bent arm
  • Excessive rear tire wear related to suspension geometry issues
  • Corrosion or fatigue in the original rear left rearward arm

Installation Notes

Install in the rear left rearward position only on the listed Subaru applications. Verify vehicle year, model, and suspension layout before replacement. Because this arm uses a bushing end and a mounting-hole end, confirm the original mounting points match the OE configuration before installation. Professional alignment is recommended after suspension component replacement.

Quality Assurance

Dorman manufactures this lateral arm as a precision-engineered replacement part and subjects it to testing for dependable fit and function on the specified vehicles. Part number 524-489 is built to match the original equipment application on the listed Subaru models.
