Control arms are typically large and strong, so you may be surprised it needs replacing. They contain rubber bushings for smoother rides at the cost of eventual wear.

Very helpful !! I used this to complete the job on a 2016 Chevy impala. Also replaced inner & outer tie rod ends. Same setup as this video. Thanks !!

An extra 75 degrees when tightening sounds like "torque to yield" bolts. are they? and if so, don't they need to be replaced?

[@bilbobaggins5962]

[@Lexhonda23]

I replaced this part and my car is still making the same noise but worse… not sure what my issue is now
