Control arms are a crucial part of the suspension system of your vehicle. They not only carry the load of the vehicle to the wheel, but they typically also maintain its alignment. Control arms are typically large and strong, so you may be surprised it needs replacing. They contain rubber bushings for smoother rides at the cost of eventual wear.

Can this be done with the car on a jack? Or does it have to be on a lift?

[@anthonycarchidi3rd123]

Jose G. Pizano iam gona try it next week on the ground with jacks. i dont see why not. i had my other side done at a shop, they charged me $900. the part is $110 on amazon not geting ripped off again. did ur nut come off and the whole side of the car fall down?

[@chadatterberry7771]

It absolutely can be done on a jack... A lift would make the job far easier, tho. Nothing worse than rolling around on the garage floor trying to figure out how to torque the nuts with your elbows across your face
