A clunk over bumps, loose-feeling steering or uneven front tire wear can mean a worn ball joint or bushing. Worn shocks, tie rod ends, sway bar links or a wheel bearing can be behind those signs too, so find the cause before buying. Both upper arms are normally replaced together, and this listing is one arm.
