Signs of wear can include a clunk over bumps or a loose feel from the rear end. With the car parked and the engine off, look over the rear tires for uneven wear, and leave play and bushing checks to a shop, since other rear suspension parts can make a clunk too. Replace the left and right arms together as a pair; this listing is one rear left arm, and the right side is a separate part. The 2016-2025 Chevrolet Malibu takes one arm per position.
