A worn arm or ball joint can show up as a clunk over bumps, uneven tire wear or loose, wandering steering, though other worn suspension parts can feel similar. With the engine off, look at the bushings for cracks or tears first, and leave ball joint play to a shop. Front arms usually get changed as a pair, but this listing is one arm for the front left; the other side is a separate part.
