Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Do I need an alignment after installing this control arm? A: Yes, a professional wheel alignment is recommended after replacement to restore correct camber, caster, and toe settings. Driving without one can cause rapid tire wear and poor handling.

Q: Should I replace both sides at once? A: It is often wise to inspect the opposite side since suspension parts wear at similar rates. Replacing paired components together helps maintain balanced handling.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
