Product Details

The Dorman 527-183 is a rear driver side upper forward suspension lateral arm engineered as a direct OE replacement for select Buick and Chevrolet models. This stamped steel lateral arm is precision-manufactured to restore proper rear suspension geometry, ensuring accurate wheel alignment, stable handling, and a smooth, controlled ride.

Lateral arms are a critical component of the multi-link rear suspension system. They connect the rear wheel hub/knuckle to the vehicle's subframe and control lateral (side-to-side) wheel movement. A worn, bent, or cracked lateral arm can cause pulling, wandering, uneven tire wear, and misalignment that cannot be corrected by a standard alignment adjustment.

Key Features:

  • Direct replacement — stamped steel construction matches OE design, dimensions, and mounting points
  • Bushings included — pre-installed steel bushings for a complete, ready-to-install assembly
  • Durable black finish — corrosion-resistant coating for long-term durability
  • Rigorously tested — engineered and validated to meet strict quality and performance standards
  • Sold individually — one lateral arm per package
  • Not adjustable — fixed-length OE-style replacement; no ball joint included

Dorman's OE Solutions line delivers reliable aftermarket replacements backed by over 100 years of automotive parts engineering. The 527-183 restores factory suspension performance and is designed for straightforward installation by professional technicians.
