Common Repair Uses

• Alignment issues related to suspension arm wear
• Corrosion damage on the original lateral arm

Installation Notes and Tips

Install CMS801211 in the rear lower forward position only. Verify vehicle year, model, and suspension layout before replacement, and inspect adjacent bushings and mounting points for wear or corrosion during service. Because this arm is not adjustable, final alignment should be checked after installation.
