A clunk over bumps or a loose feel in the steering can come from a worn control arm. With the engine off, a look at the bushing rubber and the ball joint boot for cracks, tears or leaking grease helps show whether the arm is the cause before you replace it. The left and right arms are normally replaced together; this listing is one arm for the front right, and the left side is a separate part.
