What It Is
Control arms are the suspension links that hold each wheel in proper position. They have bushings and ball joints that wear out.
Why It Matters
Worn control arms cause unsafe handling and chew through tires.
How to Save Money on Control Arm Replacement
- Loaded control arms (with ball joint and bushings preinstalled) cost a bit more but save hours of labor
- Always do an alignment after replacing a control arm

Can I replace just the bushings instead?
Sometimes, but pressing bushings out requires special tools and the labor often costs more than buying a new loaded arm.
