This lower control arm links the wheel assembly to the chassis and pivots on its bushings as the suspension moves. The ball joint lets the knuckle steer and travel. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, cracked bushings and torn ball-joint boots. The arm is sold individually for the front right lower position, and replacing both sides together is recommended. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for full fitment details.
