Quick facts
- Part: Delphi TC2522 control arm with ball joint
- Also called: control arm and ball joint assembly
- Fits: 2008-2016 Smart fortwo
- Position: Front lower
- Condition: New
A clunk over bumps, loose or wandering steering and uneven front tire wear can mean a worn ball joint or control arm. These signs alone do not prove this arm is the problem, since a worn sway bar link can make a similar knock.
Fits
This is a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2016 Smart fortwo, which takes two, one on each side of the front axle. Replace the pair together; this listing is one arm.
