Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or rattling from the rear over bumps, wandering or vague handling, uneven tire wear, alignment that won't stay in spec, or an arm that is visibly bent or damaged. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing parts. A wheel alignment check after installation is recommended.
