TrueDrive RC28780001 Rear Lower Lateral Link OEM Replacement

The TrueDrive RC28780001 is an OEM-replacement rear lower lateral link (also known as a rear lower control arm or suspension control arm) engineered to restore factory suspension geometry and handling performance. This single link services both the driver and passenger sides (RH=LH), making it the correct replacement for either position.

The rear lower lateral link is a critical suspension component that connects the vehicle chassis to the rear axle assembly. It maintains proper wheel alignment, controls lateral movement of the axle, and ensures stable, predictable handling. Over time, the factory bushings can wear or crack, leading to clunking noises over bumps, uneven tire wear, and misalignment. A bent or damaged arm can also cause the vehicle to pull to one side.

Key Features:

• Direct OEM replacement — matches factory specifications for fit and function
• Replaces Toyota OEM part number 48720-35061 (also supersedes 48720-35060 / 4872035060)
• Single arm fits both driver and passenger side (RH = LH)
• Rear, lower position
• Restores proper rear axle alignment and lateral stability
• Built to withstand the demands of both on-road and light off-road use

Common symptoms that indicate a failing lateral link include clunking or knocking sounds from the rear suspension, steering wheel vibration, pulling during acceleration or braking, and unusual or accelerated tire wear. Replacing a worn lateral link restores ride quality, alignment integrity, and overall vehicle safety.
