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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK643459 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear toe link fracture at the factory weld area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoose or unstable rear suspension alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced steering control caused by rear suspension failure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven rear tire wear related to toe angle movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepeat repairs tied to the original OE link design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits 2011-2019 Ford Explorer, rear upper forward.
