What does a lower control arm do?
It connects the steering knuckle to the chassis through its ball joint and bushings. This holds the wheel in position while the suspension moves up and down.
What comes pre-installed on this arm?
The ball joint and bushings come already installed in the arm, so you don't need to press them in separately.
What are signs this control arm may need replacing?
Warning signs include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, cracked bushings or a loose ball joint. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
Do I need a wheel alignment after installing it?
