What position on the vehicle does this control arm cover?

Is the ball joint included and serviceable?
Yes, the ball joint is integrated into this assembly and includes a 90-degree SAE grease fitting, so it can be periodically greased.
Are the mounting fasteners included?
Yes — an application-specific pinch bolt and locking nut are provided for the ball joint. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct torque specs.
What are signs this control arm may need replacing?
Clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear can be signs of a worn control arm bushing or ball joint. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
