The Cadillac XTS Lateral Arm provides exceptional handling by linking the chassis of the sedan to each rear-wheel hub, thereby ensuring that the tire remains planted even during sharp turns. This die-forged or cast piece acts like a precision control arm, but the Lateral Arm is lighter and boasts superior metallurgy than the early stamped steel component with which it supersedes in this role. When drivers accelerate aggressively in a Cadillac sedan over uneven pavement, the Lateral Arm rotates on its bushings while the suspension rises and falls. This prevents sideways drift that would scrub speed or wear tires. It plays a pivotal role in every XTS built from 2013 through 2019 since this luxury model effectively balances a soft ride and quick directional changes. Whether fitted on the front drive or the all-wheel drive versions, the Lateral Arm is corrosion-resistant, fatigue-resistant, and retains the sharp response of the magnetic stance system that comes standard on the XTS. By minimizing flex, the Lateral Arm helps the electronic stability tools measure traction more accurately, thus shortening stopping distances and helping with launches while doing the daily commute or spirited highway passing. Most jobs involve a cheap swap of some bushings, so owners are happy. The Lateral Arm's solid body hardly needs looking at unless a hard curb hit bends it. As the part bolts to factory points on all Cadillac trim levels, it is compatible with the first year XTS sedans and the later refreshed XTS as they have the same geometry. That common architecture reduces idle time, preserves the accuracy of the alignment, and provides the strength of the V6 output which gives every Cadillac its confident stride. Another highlight is the new cast aluminum version of the Lateral Arm, which sheds weight at the far corner of the chassis so the Cadillac feels lighter on its feet, and efficiency also improves on longer drives. Globally trusted, the XTS sedan comes with powerful onboard tech for comfort and safety, not forgetting a Lateral Arm reputation for ruggedness, a hallmark of Cadillac.
