This Dorman lower control arm is sold individually for the front left position. Replacing both sides together is recommended when the opposite arm shows similar wear. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and worn bushings or a loose ball joint. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
