Rear Lower Control Arm (Lateral Type) – Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series (04/1998-07/2007)
Replace worn, bent, clunking or rusted rear lower control arms (lateral / trailing arms) on your Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series (HDJ100, HZJ105, UZJ100, 04/1998-07/2007) with this heavy-duty replacement from Machter Auto Parts. Direct fit for the rear lateral lower arms – fixes rear-end squirm, loose handling, axle misalignment, tyre rub or vibrations after high mileage, towing, off-road abuse or corrosion from salt/gravel in Australia. Essential for work tourers, lifted rigs or daily drivers that feel vague or noisy on highways and tracks.
Key Features
- Heavy-duty rear lower control arm (lateral type) – sold individually or as pair (specify LH/RH if needed)
- Direct bolt-on fit for 04/1998-07/2007 Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series (all variants: petrol & diesel)
- High-strength steel construction – thicker than factory for added rigidity and load capacity
- Matte black powder coat finish – rust-resistant and low-glare for off-road use
- Pre-installed polyurethane or rubber bushings – greaseable, long-lasting and reduced deflection
- Precision-welded end fittings – maintains correct length and geometry
- Compatible with factory or aftermarket rear coils, shocks, sway bars and trailing arm mounts
Benefits
- Eliminates clunks & rear-end play – tighter, more planted handling on gravel & corrugations
- Restores correct axle alignment – reduces tyre wear, improves stability when loaded or towing
- Stronger than worn factory arms – handles heavy towing, rock crawling or high-speed dirt roads
- Prevents further damage – stops stress on diff, U-joints and trailing arm mounts
- Essential for roadworthy & safety – bent or rusted arms can fail inspection in NSW
- Great for high-mileage work rigs, off-road builds or resto projects – brings rear suspension back to solid
Fitment Notes
- Suitable for Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series (04/1998-07/2007) – rear lower lateral control arms
- Professional installation recommended – torque bushings/bolts to spec, re-align vehicle and check rear geometry
- Replace both sides together – worn arms cause uneven handling and wear
- Inspect upper arms, panhard rod, shocks & diff mounts while replacing – common to do full rear suspension refresh
- May require alignment after install – especially if lifted or running larger tyres

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of a failing rear lower control arm?
The most common symptoms include a clunking noise when driving over bumps, unstable or "wandering" handling, and significant play in the rear suspension. Over time, the rubber bushings within the arm perish, or the arm itself may become bent or fatigued from heavy off-road use, causing incorrect rear axle geometry.
What is the function of the lateral control arm in a 100 Series?
The lateral control arms are crucial for maintaining the precise location of the rear axle relative to the chassis. They control side-to-side (lateral) movement of the axle, ensuring that the wheels remain centered under the vehicle during acceleration, braking, and cornering, which is vital for safe tracking and handling.
Is this arm compatible with my 1998–2007 100 Series?
Yes, this arm is designed specifically for the solid-axle rear suspension setup of the 100 Series LandCruiser (covering the full range from April 1998 to July 2007). It matches the factory specifications for length, mounting points, and structural integrity.
Should I replace the bushings at the same time?
This replacement arm typically comes with high-quality bushings pre-installed. Replacing the entire arm is often more cost-effective and faster than trying to press out old, seized bushings from your existing arm and fitting new ones. It ensures that the metal housing of the arm is also fresh and fatigue-free.
Is a wheel alignment necessary after installation?
Yes, we highly recommend a professional four-wheel alignment after replacing any major suspension control arm. Even if the new arm matches factory dimensions perfectly, your rear axle geometry may have shifted due to the old, worn parts. A fresh alignment ensures your vehicle tracks straight and prevents premature tyre wear.
