Detailed Description

Dorman 527-187 is a rear left lateral arm designed for 2016-2019 Chevrolet Cruze applications. It uses a steel tubular arm design with black rubber bushings to replace the original suspension link at the rear of the vehicle. The arm is not adjustable, is not greaseable, and does not include mounting hardware, so it is intended for straightforward OE-style service replacement. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK643460 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Replacing a worn rear suspension lateral arm on a Chevrolet Cruze
• Correcting rear wheel movement caused by bushing wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear left fitment before installation on 2016-2019 Chevrolet Cruze models. Inspect adjacent suspension bushings, fasteners, and mounting points for wear or damage before replacing the arm. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or replace hardware as required by the vehicle service procedure. A professional alignment check is recommended after suspension component replacement.
