This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does a lower control arm do?
It connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's body and pivots on its bushings. This lets the wheel move up and down while holding it in position, and the ball joint gives the knuckle a pivot point for steering.
Does this control arm fit my 1996-2002 Toyota Corolla?
It is listed for the 1996-2002 Toyota Corolla at the front left lower position. Engine details are in the Buyer's Guide tab.
What comes with the assembly?
Each assembly has the ball joint and bushings pre-installed, so you do not need to press them in separately.
What are signs the control arm may need replacing?
Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, cracked bushings or a loose ball joint can be signs of a worn arm. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
Do I need an alignment after installing it?
A wheel alignment is generally recommended after replacing a control arm, because the arm affects suspension geometry. Use the vehicle service information for torque specs.
