Dorman – Suspension Lateral Arm (OE Fix) (Part No.527-367)

Suspension Lateral Arm (OE Fix)

from

$56.99
The factory rear suspension toe link on certain Ford Explorers and Police Interceptor utility vehicles can fail when the weld connecting the threaded shaft to the bushing housing fractures. A fracture of a rear toe link significantly diminishes steering control, increasing the risk of a crash. This Dorman OE FIX rear toe link has been designed as an alternative and potentially more permanent suspension repair that could reduce long-term repair costs and offer more predictable vehicle handling. This toe link includes features intended to address potential failure points in the original equipment design. Our design reduces the possibility of toe link fracture by replacing the original link’s 14mm diameter threaded shaft and weld point with a solid, one-piece steel casting that integrates an 18mm shaft with the bushing housing. To help improve suspension load distribution, this design also features a larger, 20mm weld at the bracket end of the toe link, instead of the 14mm weld on the factory design.

Product Features:
  • Smart fix – this toe link is designed to reduce the possibility of a weld fracture that can significantly diminish steering control, and to improve suspension load distribution on specified SUVs
  • Sturdy design – features a solid 1-piece casting in place of the factory design’s welded connection to the link bushing housing, and a thicker weld at the link bracket end
  • Try-on tested – designed for a seamless installation on specified Ford Explorers and Police Interceptor utility vehicles
  • Trustworthy quality – backed by a team of product experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience
