Common Signs You Need Front Upper Control Arm Replacement
- Clunking or knocking noises from the front over bumps or when braking
- Steering that feels loose, wanders or doesn’t hold a straight line well
- Uneven or rapid front tire wear (inside or outside edges)
- Vehicle pulling to one side even after tire rotation
- Visible cracked or torn bushings in the upper control arms
- Play at the upper ball joint when the wheel is rocked with the vehicle lifted
Driving with badly worn control arms can damage tires, affect braking stability and make the car feel unsafe at highway speeds.
💡 Pro Tip
Whenever front control arms are replaced, a professional wheel alignment is strongly recommended. New bushings and ball joints change suspension geometry — aligning it afterwards protects your tires and ensures the vehicle tracks straight.
