The control arm links the wheel assembly to the chassis. It lets the suspension travel up and down while holding the wheel in position, and the ball joint gives the steering knuckle its pivot. Worn bushings or a loose ball joint can show up as clunking over bumps, wandering steering or uneven tire wear. These are signs this front left lower assembly may need replacing.
