Professional Installation Notes
- Always support the vehicle with jack stands — never rely on a floor jack alone.
- Mark the camber bolt position (if equipped) before removal to preserve approximate alignment.
- Use a ball joint separator tool — avoid damaging the boot with a pickle fork if reusing nearby components.
- Tighten all bushing bolts with the suspension at ride height (vehicle weight on the ground) to prevent premature bushing failure.
- Schedule a professional alignment immediately after installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between forward and rearward control arms?
On vehicles with a multi-link or double-wishbone front suspension, the lower control arm is often split into two separate arms — forward (front) and rearward (rear). Each handles different load directions. This kit replaces the rearward pair.
Why should I replace both sides together?
Control arms wear symmetrically. Replacing only one side creates a handling imbalance — the old side will have more compliance (slop) than the new stiff side, leading to pulling and uneven tire wear.
Do these come with mounting hardware?
Control arms include pre-installed bushings and ball joints. Mounting bolts and nuts are typically reused from your vehicle unless they show signs of corrosion or stretching. We recommend using new hardware if your existing bolts show any rust or thread damage.
Can I do this job without a lift?
Yes — floor jack and jack stands are sufficient. The biggest challenge is accessing the mounting bolts, which may require a breaker bar and penetrating oil on older, rust-belt vehicles. Expect 2-4 hours for a DIY install of both sides.
