This Dorman lower control arm connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis and pivots on its bushings. The ball joint lets the knuckle steer and move with the suspension. Signs that the arm may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and worn bushings. Diagnose the cause before you replace any parts. This listing is for the right-side arm, sold individually. Replacing the left and right sides together is recommended. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and for whether the originals may be reused.
