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:

  • Annoying clunking or popping noises
  • Uneven or premature tire wear
  • Pulling while driving or braking
  • Reduced handling and cornering control

If you’re hearing suspension noise or your vehicle doesn’t feel as stable as it used to, don’t ignore it.

👉 Watch: This video shows a loose lower control arm found during a suspension check at our Broken Arrow auto repair shop—clunks like this are more common than you think.

Why Control Arm Replacement Matters

The lower control arm connects your frame to the steering knuckle and allows your suspension to move up and down while staying properly aligned. It also houses bushings and sometimes a ball joint—all components that wear out over time.

When we replace a control arm, we also inspect related parts such as:

  • Ball joints and tie rods
  • Bushings and sway bar end links
  • Shocks and struts if ride quality has also declined

We always recommend a post-repair alignment to ensure proper handling and tire wear.
