Installation Guide

- Begin by ensuring the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off. Use appropriate jacks and safety stands for stability.
- Remove the front wheel to access the control arm assembly. Carefully detach any connected components like the brake line and sway bar link as necessary.
- Unbolt and remove the existing control arms and ball joints from the vehicle, following your vehicle's service manual for guidance.
- Fit the new control arms and ball joints into position, securing them with the provided bolts and fasteners. Ensure all parts are tightly secured to manufacturer's torque specifications.
- Reattach any previously removed components and replace the wheel. Lower the vehicle safely and conduct a test drive to ensure proper installation.

Important Notes

- Verify vehicle compatibility using OE and interchange part numbers before purchase to ensure proper fitment.
- Professional installation is recommended to ensure safety and warranty compliance.
- Regularly inspect the control arms and ball joints for wear and tear to maintain vehicle safety and performance.

INSTALLATION STEP 1

Locate the control arm mounting bolts and remove them one by one with a ratchet wrench and extended socket.

INSTALLATION STEP 2
The connecting rod attached to the shock absorber also needs to be removed.

INSTALLATION STEP 3
Removed old piece of control arm and tie rod, compared to new fitting.

INSTALLATION STEP 4
Put the new control arm main arm & tie rod fittings back in place in the same position as the old ones.

INSTALLATION STEP 5
Bolt it in place and finally insert the pins.

INSTALLATION STEP 6
Finally all the bolts need to be torqued into place with a torque wrench.

(1)Q: What are the symptoms of a bad control arm? How do I know if I need to replace it?
A: Look for these common signs:
① Clunking/Popping Noise: Metallic knocking sound when driving over bumps or turning.
②Steering Issues: Vibration in the steering wheel, vehicle pulling to one side, or a loose/wandering feeling.
③ Uneven Tire Wear: Feathering or excessive inner/outer edge wear on your tires.
If you experience any of these, inspection is recommended.

(2)Q: Do I need to replace the control arm if the bushings are worn?
A: Because the weight of the car is transferred through the control arm two rubber bushings are fitted at the pivot point and bolted to the frame. Road conditions and driving habits can contribute to the wear of these bushings which will become worn and fall apart. These bushing can be inspected by raising the car up and looking for an irregular configuration of the rubber center of the bushing. Many control arms have the ball joint manufactured into the arm which will be replaced along with the control arm itself. When one control arm is worn it is highly advised to replace the opposing arm.

(3)Q: What happens if a ball joint breaks?
A: When a ball joint breaks, you will hear a mysterious noise inside your car wheel.
Your car tire will wear-out since your alignment will be broken, and you will feel the car getting out of control.
If the ball joint breaks completely, it can be separated, and things can turn sour quickly. The wheel will stop being nice and can even steer you off the road. It can be serious.
Broken ball joints will seriously affect the steering and suspension. It can even result in your wheel falling off the car.

(4)Q: What happens if I don't replace ball joints?
A: If you don't want to replace your ball joints, then get ready to experience some serious issues. The old ball joints cause mysterious clunking noise or drifting steering. Once they are worn-out, it will seriously affect your steering and suspension. However, you do not need to change the ball joints if it is new.

(5)Q: Do I need to grease new ball joints?
A: I would say it will be a wise decision if you grease your new ball joints. At least I will always grease a new one after the installation. Greasing a new ball joint will make it stronger and extend its lifetime because there is a minimal amount of grease inside. I suggest you do so after the first installation. Follow the instruction card.
