Detailed Description

This replacement arm uses high-strength steel and a corrosion-resistant finish to handle everyday road conditions while supporting the suspension’s original geometry. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme CMS40726 for the same application.
Common Issues It May Solve
- Uneven or accelerated tire wear caused by suspension wear.

Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle’s build date and ball joint specification before ordering, especially for 2002 applications with the 3/04/02 cutoff and 17 mm ball joint note. Confirm rear lower rearward placement and compare the original arm to SK523007 before installation. A professional alignment is recommended after replacement to restore correct suspension geometry.
