A control arm links the suspension to the vehicle's frame. It lets the suspension travel with the road while holding it in position. Signs that a rear lower arm may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering handling, uneven tire wear, and an arm that is visibly bent or damaged. If a worn or damaged arm is the cause, this part replaces it. It is sold individually, and replacing both rear lower arms together is recommended for balanced handling. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
