The lower control arm connects the steering knuckle to the chassis. It lets the wheel travel up and down while holding it in position, and the ball joint provides the pivot the knuckle steers on. Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear are signs this part may need replacing, so have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause. It is sold individually for the front right lower position, and replacing both sides together is recommended.
