Suspension Noise? We Found a Loose Lower Control Arm | Auto Repair Broken Arrow
Hearing a clunk or rattle in your front end?
It might be more than just a bumpy road. In this video, we’re showing a real-world example of a loose lower control arm we found on a customer’s vehicle during a routine suspension inspection.
Lower control arms are a critical part of your suspension system, helping maintain alignment, stability, and a smooth ride. When they get worn out or loose, it can lead to some serious issues like:
