Detailed Description

Dorman 524-780 is a rear lateral arm designed for specific Subaru rear suspension locations, including rear left forward, rear right forward, and rear forward positions. It uses a tubular steel design with rubber bushings to replace worn OE suspension hardware on 1990-1999 Subaru Legacy and 1993-1996, 2005-2006, and 2007 Subaru Impreza models. This part cross-references OE-style numbers such as 20250AA003 and CMS801184 for the same application. If you are servicing a Subaru Impreza or Subaru Legacy rear suspension, 524-780 provides a direct-fit replacement path for the listed positions.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Rear suspension looseness or instability
  • Clunking or knocking from worn arm bushings
  • Uneven rear wheel tracking caused by worn lateral arm components
  • Excess movement in the rear suspension linkage
  • Handling changes from deteriorated rubber bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the exact rear position before ordering, since fitment varies by left forward, right forward, and rear forward applications. Confirm the mounting hole diameter, stud layout, and vehicle year against the original part on your Subaru Impreza or Subaru Legacy. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the required fasteners separately. A professional alignment is recommended after suspension component replacement.

Quality Assurance

Dorman states that this lateral arm is precision-engineered and rigorously tested to provide reliable OE-style replacement performance on the listed vehicles. Part number 524-780 is built to meet the needs of the specified Subaru rear suspension applications.
