Detailed Description

Mevotech GS801211 is a rear lower forward lateral arm engineered for Subaru rear suspension service. The steel arm and rubber bushings are specified to replace a worn lateral link assembly and help return the suspension to proper alignment and movement characteristics. It is a practical choice for Subaru Outback, Subaru Legacy, and Subaru Baja repairs where the original arm has developed play, noise, or handling issues. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 524-197 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part May Address

• Rear suspension clunking or knocking from worn bushings
• Excessive rear wheel movement caused by a fatigued lateral arm
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension looseness
• Reduced handling stability in the rear suspension
• Visible cracking or deterioration in the original arm bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear lower forward position before ordering and compare the original arm length and bushing layout to GS801211. Because the ball joint is not included, confirm the vehicle’s suspension design and reuse or replace related components as needed during service. After installation, perform a wheel alignment to confirm rear suspension geometry is set correctly.
