Rear suspension arm kit for 2007–2017 Jeep Compass and Patriot, and 2007–2012 Dodge Caliber. The package contains six rear suspension arms across three listed arm types.

Fitment warning: The available source does not specify FWD, AWD, or 4WD restrictions, engine, trim, suspension package, production-date breakpoints, left/right part assignments, or reference numbers. It also does not explicitly confirm whether bushings, mounting hardware, eccentric alignment bolts, or other components are included. Compare every original arm’s position, length, bend, mounting points, bushing design, and alignment-adjustment hardware. Verify by VIN and review the product images before ordering.

Vehicle Compatibility

• 2007–2012 Dodge Caliber
• 2007–2017 Jeep Compass
• 2007–2017 Jeep Patriot

For all applications, verify drivetrain and rear suspension configuration against the original vehicle.

Package Contents

• Two rear upper lateral arms
• Two rear lower control arms
• Two rear lower rearward lateral toe arms
• Total: Six rear suspension arms

The source provides quantities by arm type but does not explicitly map each arm to the left or right side. Bushings, mounting bolts, eccentric washers, nuts, and other hardware are not separately confirmed.

Common Rear Control Arm Symptoms

• Clunking or knocking from the rear suspension
• Rear-end wander or unstable handling
• Uneven or accelerated rear tire wear
• Rear toe or camber that will not remain within specification
• Visible movement, cracking, or damage at an arm or bushing

Similar symptoms may also be caused by wheel bearings, trailing links, sway-bar links, struts, springs, subframe bushings, tires, or alignment. Inspect the complete rear suspension before replacement.

Installation Notes

Professional installation is strongly recommended. Identify and compare each arm before removing the original components. Inspect the rear subframe, knuckles, wheel bearings, struts, springs, sway-bar links, bushings, and alignment hardware. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque procedures. Where required, tighten bonded-rubber bushing fasteners at normal ride height to avoid preloading the bushings. Replace damaged or seized alignment hardware as needed. A four-wheel alignment is required after installation, followed by a controlled low-speed safety check.
