Detailed Description

Dorman 527-197 is engineered as a replacement suspension trailing arm for the rear left side of the Honda Ridgeline.

The boxed control arm design and bolt-on attachment help support stable rear suspension geometry, while the included bushings provide the connection points needed for proper operation. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme CMS601139 for the same application.

What It Helps Repair

• Rear suspension clunking caused by worn trailing arm bushings
• Loose or unstable rear-end handling
• Uneven suspension movement from a damaged arm
• Excess play in the rear left suspension link
• Alignment-related handling concerns tied to worn suspension hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the rear left position only. Verify the mounting hole diameter and attachment style before installation, and inspect adjacent suspension components for wear at the same time. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct hardware as needed for the vehicle. After installation, a suspension inspection and alignment check are recommended to confirm proper rear suspension geometry.
