Detailed Description

This Mevotech lateral arm is engineered for the rear lower rearward suspension position on select Lexus ES300 and Lexus ES330 vehicles. The fixed-length, non-adjustable construction helps restore the original suspension link location, which is important for maintaining rear wheel control, ride quality, and predictable handling. If you are replacing a worn rear suspension arm on a 2002-2003 Lexus ES300 or 2004-2006 Lexus ES330, GS861282 provides the correct application-specific fitment.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Mevotech GS861282 also interchanges with several OE and aftermarket part numbers for the same rear suspension position.

What It Helps Address

• Rear suspension looseness or play
• Uneven rear tire wear caused by worn linkage
• Clunking or knocking from the rear suspension
• Imprecise rear-end tracking
• Restoring OE suspension geometry after wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear lower rearward position before installation and compare the original arm length to GS861282. Because the ball joint is not included, inspect the existing related components during service and replace any worn hardware or adjoining suspension parts as needed. A professional alignment is recommended after rear suspension work on Lexus ES300 and Lexus ES330 models.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech Original Grade parts are positioned as OE-style replacement components for service applications where factory-like fit and function matter. GS861282 is listed for confirmed fitment on 2002-2003 Lexus ES300 and 2004-2006 Lexus ES330 rear lower rearward applications.
