It is compatible with 2000-2013 Chevrolet Impala, rear forward; 2014-2016 Chevrolet Impala Limited, rear forward; 2005-2010 Buick LaCrosse, rear forward; 2005-2009 Buick Allure, rear forward; 1997-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix, rear forward; 2000-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, rear forward; 1997-2005 Buick Century, rear forward; 1995-2004 Buick Regal, rear forward; and 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, rear forward.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear suspension looseness or wandering feel
• Clunking or knocking from worn lateral arm bushings
• Uneven rear tire wear caused by suspension movement
• Loss of stable rear wheel location during braking and cornering
• Degraded ride quality from deteriorated rubber bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear forward position before ordering, since this arm is not adjustable and is application-specific. Inspect adjacent bushings, mounting points, and related rear suspension components during replacement to confirm the source of wear. Because the GS501005 uses rubber bushings, final tightening should be performed at normal ride height when applicable to help preserve bushing life and suspension geometry.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech supplies this lateral arm as an OE-style suspension replacement built with steel construction and included bushings for consistent fit and function in supported applications. The GS501005 is intended to restore factory-style rear suspension performance on the listed Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, and Oldsmobile models.
