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.

What This Control Arm Helps Address

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.
