Detailed Description

The Mevotech CMS50167 lateral arm is engineered for rear suspension service where the arm connects and controls movement in the rear forward position. Its stamped steel body provides a rigid replacement structure, while the natural rubber bushings help restore the original-style isolation and articulation expected in daily driving. The corrosion-resistant finish adds protection against road exposure, and the black coating gives the part a clean OE-style appearance.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK641203 and Dorman OE Solutions 905-518 for the same application. It also aligns with common interchange references used for Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac Grand Am, and Oldsmobile Alero rear suspension repair. Use Mevotech CMS50167 when replacing a worn lateral arm on 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1997-1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass, or 2004-2005 Chevrolet Classic in the rear forward position.

What This Part Helps Address

• Rear suspension clunking from worn arm bushings
• Excessive rear wheel movement caused by a fatigued lateral arm
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension looseness
• Handling instability from a damaged rear forward arm
• Noise and vibration from deteriorated rubber bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear forward position fitment before ordering, since this part is not adjustable and is not listed for sport suspension on the 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero. Confirm the vehicle year, make, model, and suspension configuration against the application list before installation. Inspect related suspension hardware, mounting points, and adjacent bushings for wear during replacement.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech suspension components are built for direct replacement service in common passenger vehicle applications. CMS50167 is constructed from stamped steel with a corrosion-resistant finish and includes natural rubber bushings for OE-style service characteristics.
