Vehicle-Specific Notes

The 2020-2025 Buick and Chevrolet models may be prone to premature bushing wear in the front lower control arms. Check for any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related to the front suspension on these vehicles. Some owners have reported clunking noises from the front suspension, which can be caused by worn control arm bushings or ball joints.

Verification After Install

  • Test drive the vehicle to check for any unusual noises or vibrations.
  • Make sure the steering wheel is centered and the vehicle tracks straight.
  • Inspect the tires for even wear.
  • Have a professional mechanic perform a wheel alignment.

FAQ

A: Common signs include clunking noises, loose steering, uneven tire wear, and the vehicle pulling to one side.

Q: Can I replace just the bushings on the control arm?
A: Yes, you can replace just the bushings, but it can be difficult and may require special tools. Replacing the entire control arm is often easier and more cost-effective.

Q: Is it safe to drive with a bad control arm?
A: It is not recommended to drive with a bad control arm, as it can affect your vehicle's handling and safety.

Q: How often should I replace my control arms?
A: Control arms should be inspected regularly and replaced when they show signs of wear or damage. A typical lifespan is 75,000 to 100,000 miles.
