The lower control arms of your Toyota join the frame or body to the steering knuckle. A vehicle with a damaged or worn out lower control arm is unsafe to drive, since the front wheel is at risk of separating from the suspension, resulting in the loss of control.

Typical front-wheel drive vehicles use only a lower control arm, whereas SUVs and trucks may have both upper and lower control arms. The lower control arms are equipped with control arm bushings that suppress noise and vibrations by cushioning the suspension system, and a ball joint that holds the front suspension of your car together, limits the range of movement, and acts as a pivot point between wheels and suspension. Issues can occur with any of these parts due to wear and tear, requiring the replacement of the entire lower control arm. However, some ball joints may be able to be replaced separately.

If your Toyota makes clunking noises when going over bumps or during acceleration or deceleration, or perhaps feels unstable over rough surfaces and while braking, you may want to get your lower control arms inspected. Whether it's the whole lower control arm or other components that you need, you can find high-quality replacements at a great price here at BE FORWARD!
