Product Information

Referred to as a wishbone, a common wear item on high mileage suspensions

This control arm, often referred to as a "lower control arm" has two common failures. The inner bushing which is designed to twist and rotate will tear and fail. This normally causes a shimmy at speed. Also, the ball joint boot rubber will crack and tear which will cause almost immediate failure of the ball joint as water and dust are allowed to enter the joint.

Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly

Control arms are crucial link in a vehicle's suspension connecting the suspension to a vehicle's subframe. These pieces are usually hinged to allow for suspension to travel and articulate as the vehicle rides over obstructions in the road and while the vehicle turns. Many vehicles such as those with independent suspensions have multiple links and feature several connection points and arms to offer better ride quality and comfort.

As bushings and joints in a control arm begin to wear you may notice a looseness feel in your suspension. And while many arms have replaceable and serviceable individual components, many still require the replacement of the entire arm. Below are signs of when a replacement control arm may be needed:

Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly Failure Symptoms
  • Play in suspension joints where these arms meet the subframe and/or knuckle
  • Buckling noise emanating from the suspension
  • Uneven tire wear
  • Inability to properly align vehicle
  • Shutter or vibration coming from the steering wheel at highway speed
  • Wandering or pulling sensation from side to side felt on the steering wheel

PS front rear Control arm
This arm only lasted 30k miles and about 3 years. I’m replacing it with a Meyle instead this time. The ball joint has play and is making noise

Great quality but now it does not come with NUTS
I've bought this brand in the past for their quality and all, but finding out that there is not a single nut inside of this one makes me feel they're cheaping out. Next time I will pay extra attention to this brand and see alternatives if that is what they want to keep doing just to save a few cents. Really dissapointed. Even funnier is that the left side DOES include a couple of nuts for replacing old ones. Makes no sense at all.

Great
My car had a TERRIBLE shaking in the steering wheel while applying brakes or taking slight turns, hitting bumps. I bought these and replaced them with ease and it felt like a new car!
