Signs this control arm and ball joint assembly may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or play at the ball joint. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts, and have the wheel alignment checked after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details and the full application list.
