Detailed Description

Mevotech CMS401283 is a rear lower forward lateral arm designed for rear suspension service on select Ford crossover applications. It is compatible with 2021-2025 Ford Bronco Sport, rear lower forward, and 2020-2025 Ford Escape, rear lower forward.

Built from steel with rubber bushings, this lateral arm is intended to restore rear suspension geometry and help maintain stable wheel control. The bushing-to-bushing design and included hardware support a straightforward replacement on high-use passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets, and working trucks where rear suspension wear can affect ride quality and alignment consistency.

What It Helps Address

• Rear suspension looseness or clunking from worn bushings
• Uneven rear tire wear related to suspension movement
• Rear-end instability over bumps or during cornering
• Excess play in the rear lower forward suspension link
• Service replacement for damaged or fatigued control arm components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and rear lower forward position before installation. This part is non-adjustable, so alignment should be checked after replacement to confirm rear suspension geometry is within specification. Inspect adjacent bushings, fasteners, and mounting points during service to avoid repeat repairs.
