OE-Style Rear Lower Forward Control Arm

Mevotech GS86185 is a suspension control arm built to match original manufacturer fit, form, and function. It is designed for routine driving and commuter use, helping restore OE ride quality and handling on the rear lower forward position.

  • Exact-match OE replacement for proper fit and alignment geometry
  • Steel control arm construction with a black finish
  • Rubber bushings included for direct replacement service
  • Non-adjustable design for factory-style suspension setup
  • Fits 1999-2003 Lexus RX300, rear lower forward
  • Fits 2001-2003 Toyota Highlander, rear lower forward

Detailed Product Overview

This Mevotech Original Grade control arm is engineered as a direct replacement for the rear lower forward suspension position on the Lexus RX300 and Toyota Highlander. The GS86185 part number is intended to restore the original suspension relationship, helping maintain predictable handling, stable ride characteristics, and proper wheel control. Mevotech GS86185 is a practical choice when replacing worn rear suspension components on 1999-2003 Lexus RX300 and 2001-2003 Toyota Highlander models.

The arm measures 13.5 inches in length and uses steel construction for strength and durability. Rubber bushings are included, which supports a factory-style ride feel and helps isolate road vibration. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK641863 for the same application.

What This Control Arm Helps Address

  • Rear suspension looseness or instability
  • Clunking or knocking from worn bushings
  • Uneven tire wear caused by suspension wear
  • Steering or handling changes from degraded rear control arm components
  • Loss of OE ride quality in the rear suspension

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, make, model, and rear lower forward position before installation. Because this is a non-adjustable control arm, correct fitment is important for restoring factory suspension geometry. Inspect related rear suspension hardware, alignment settings, and adjacent bushings or joints during service to avoid repeat repairs.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech Original Grade parts are built as OE-style replacements for fit, form, and function, with a focus on restoring original suspension performance for everyday driving.
