A control arm links the wheel assembly to the vehicle body. It lets the suspension travel over bumps while helping hold the wheel in its intended position for steering and alignment. When the arm wears, it can allow unwanted movement.
Signs this part may need replacing: clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or visible play at the arm. Diagnose the cause before replacing, because other suspension or steering parts can produce similar symptoms. Replacing the left and right sides together is recommended for balanced handling. A wheel alignment is typically advised after installation.
