Detailed Description

This Mevotech lateral arm bushing is specified for rear upper suspension locations and uses a press-in design to replace the worn rubber bushing in the arm assembly. The rubber material helps restore the original bushing interface, supporting proper suspension articulation and reducing excess play at the mounting point. Compatible fitment includes 2012-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2013-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, 2013-2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL, and 2014-2015 Kia Sorento in the rear upper position. If you are sourcing a rear upper suspension bushing for a Hyundai Santa Fe or Kia Sorento, MS90480 is the catalog reference to verify.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear suspension looseness at the lateral arm mounting point
• Cracked or deteriorated rubber bushing material
• Excess movement or clunking from worn suspension bushings
• Uneven suspension response caused by bushing wear
• Need for a direct replacement rear upper bushing on Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento platforms

Installation Notes and Tips

MS90480 is a press-in bushing, so installation requires removal of the worn bushing from the lateral arm and proper pressing equipment for installation. Inspect the arm, mounting surfaces, and adjacent suspension components before assembly. Confirm rear upper position fitment against the vehicle application and compare dimensions before pressing the new bushing into place.
