As a suspension control arm, it links the chassis to the wheel assembly and helps hold the wheel in position as the suspension moves. Signs one may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering handling, and uneven tire wear. If a worn control arm is the cause, this part replaces it. Other suspension components can produce similar symptoms, so have the suspension inspected before ordering. Follow the vehicle service information for installation, and have the wheel alignment checked as the service procedure directs.
