Dorman 527-367 Lateral Arm - Rear Upper Forward

Dorman 527-367 Rear Toe Link for Explorer

Dorman 527-367 is a rear upper forward toe link for select Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor Utility models. It is engineered as an OE FIX replacement for the factory rear suspension toe link design, with updated construction aimed at reducing known failure points in the original part.

Key Features

• Direct replacement lateral arm for the rear upper forward suspension position
• Solid, one-piece steel casting replaces the original threaded shaft and weld junction
• 18 mm integrated shaft design for improved strength over the factory 14 mm shaft design
• Larger 20 mm weld at the bracket end for improved load distribution
• Steel construction with black bushings
• Bolt-on attachment with bushings and mounting hardware included
• Standard replacement grade with adjustable design

Detailed Description

This Dorman rear toe link is built for 2011-2019 Ford Explorer rear upper forward applications and is also used on Police Interceptor Utility vehicles in the same platform family. The Dorman 527-367 replaces the original rear suspension toe link with a one-piece steel casting that removes the weld point between the threaded shaft and bushing housing, a known weak area in the factory design. By increasing shaft diameter and using a larger bracket-end weld, this lateral arm is designed to provide a more durable suspension repair and more consistent rear suspension geometry.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK643459 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear toe link fracture at the factory weld area
• Loose or unstable rear suspension alignment
• Reduced steering control caused by rear suspension failure
• Uneven rear tire wear related to toe angle movement
• Repeat repairs tied to the original OE link design
