Common Repair Symptoms

• Uneven rear suspension movement or alignment-related wear
• Excess vibration transferred into the cabin
• Visible bushing cracking, separation, or arm corrosion

Installation Notes

Verify rear upper fitment by year, make, model, and position before installation. Inspect adjacent suspension components, fasteners, and alignment settings during replacement. Because this is a non-adjustable control arm, it is intended to restore factory suspension geometry rather than alter it.
