What are Lower Control Arms and Why Do They Fail?
Lower control arms are a key part of your car’s suspension system. These robust arms connect the wheels to the vehicle’s chassis, allowing for controlled movement while steering and absorbing road imperfections. Over time, lower control arms can wear down due to factors such as:
Regular wear and tear:
Constant use and exposure to road stress can cause the bushings in the control arm to deteriorate, leading to clunking noises and imprecise handling.
Impact damage:
Hitting curbs, potholes, or other road hazards can cause the control arm to bend or crack, compromising its structural integrity.
Improper maintenance:
Neglecting routine wheel alignments can put undue stress on the control arms, accelerating their wear.
Signs of a Faulty Lower Control Arm
Uneven tire wear:
This is a common symptom of a misaligned wheel caused by a worn-out control arm bushing. You might notice irregular tread wear patterns on one or both tires.
Pulling to one side:
Does your car tend to drift towards the left or right while driving straight? This could be due to a control arm issue affecting wheel alignment.
Clunking or squeaking noises:
Hearing strange noises from the front of your car when going over bumps or turning corners can indicate worn-out bushings or a loose control arm.
Vibrations in the steering wheel:
A worn control arm bushing can cause vibrations in the steering wheel, especially noticeable at higher speeds.
A loose steering wheel:
If your steering wheel feels loose or unresponsive, it could be a sign of a damaged control arm affecting overall handling.
It’s important to note that these symptoms can sometimes be caused by other suspension components. However, if you experience any of these issues, it’s crucial to get your car inspected by a qualified mechanic at Germanic.

Process We Follow
Initial Inspection
Our technicians start by conducting a comprehensive inspection of the suspension system, focusing on the lower control arms, bushings, and ball joints. This allows us to accurately assess the extent of wear and determine if replacement is necessary.
Lifting and Securing the Vehicle
To access the lower control arms, the vehicle is safely lifted using hydraulic lifts or ramps. It is then securely supported to prevent any movement during the replacement process.
Removing the Wheels
The wheels are removed to provide access to the suspension components, including the lower control arms. This step allows our technicians to inspect the brakes, wheel bearings, and other related parts for any additional issues.
Disconnecting Suspension Components
The lower control arms are connected to various suspension components, including the strut assembly, steering knuckle, and sway bar. Our technicians carefully disconnect these components to facilitate the removal of the old control arms.
Removing the Old Control Arms
With the suspension components disconnected, the old lower control arms are carefully removed from the vehicle. This may require the use of specialized tools to loosen and remove bolts, bushings, and ball joints.
Installing New Control Arms
Once the old control arms are removed, our technicians install brand-new, high-quality control arms that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This ensures optimal performance, durability, and safety for your vehicle.
Reconnecting Suspension Components
After installing the new control arms, our technicians reconnect all suspension components, ensuring proper alignment and torque specifications are followed. This step is crucial for maintaining the integrity and stability of the suspension system.
Wheel Alignment
With the new control arms in place, a wheel alignment is performed to ensure that the vehicle’s wheels are properly aligned according to manufacturer specifications. This step helps prevent uneven tire wear and ensures optimal handling and stability.
Final Inspection and Road Test
Before returning your vehicle to you, our technicians conduct a final inspection to verify that all components are properly installed and functioning as intended. A road test may also be performed to ensure that the vehicle handles smoothly and without any issues.
