Product Details

This Mevotech lateral arm is designed for the rear upper suspension position on the Toyota RAV4. The GS861081 part number identifies the application-specific arm used to replace worn or damaged rear suspension components and help maintain factory alignment characteristics, handling response, and ride quality. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Rear suspension looseness or instability
• Uneven tire wear related to rear alignment issues
• Noises from worn suspension pivot points
• Handling drift or reduced rear-end control
• Restoration of OE rear suspension geometry after component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the rear upper position and compare the original arm length before installation. Because this arm is non-adjustable, proper fitment on the 2001-2005 Toyota RAV4 depends on matching the OE application. A professional alignment is recommended after suspension work to verify rear geometry and tire tracking.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech Original Grade parts are positioned as OE-style replacement components for service applications where factory fit and function matter. GS861081 is listed for confirmed rear upper fitment on the Toyota RAV4 platform.
