2013 ford explorer lower control arm bushing replacement

Your control arm, or "A" arm, connects your wheel spindle to the steering knuckle and chassis. It includes your ball joint as well as bushings, which can both wear out over time. Most vehicles have both an upper and lower control arm. Bad control arm bushings or ball joints can cause steering wheel vibration or wandering steering. They may also cause clunking noises if there is too much play in the control arm bushing or ball joint, usually during takeoff or stopping, or when going over bumps. These components should be inspected at the first sign of a problem to avoid an accident. If you need control arm bushings, ball joints, or a complete control arm assembly, visit O'Reilly Auto Parts for all your suspension needs.
