How do i buy it, for my lincoln mkx, i need the rear ones, but that i find is the front ones, i need them really bad, if someone can help i would appreciate it

[@heinobrummer1044]

I have all of these symptoms 😮. I bought new bushings and ball joints. Just need to work up the courage to replace them as it looks pretty tough.

[@autoinfogroup1629]

Just hold on to and do it... once you've done...may think it was that easy.

[@heinobrummer1044]

@@autoinfogroup1629 Well I just finished installing new struts and that was needlessly difficult lol. The sleeves the struts needs to sit in has to be pried open so they can slide in. Had to jerry rig the bolt that tightens the sleave and thread it in from the opposite side with a spanner in the gap to push the sleeve open so the strut can slide in. That took me about 4 hours of hammering my wheel hub to figure out. Also I don't have a hydraulic press to take off the old bushings so I'll have to redneck them off somehow.

Hi! I have recently started to experience a pull while braking. Braking gently does not cause anything. control arm likely needs replacing but what else?

[@autoinfogroup1629]

This normally happens when lowerarm bushing starts to break.

[@ezzyfakhri]

The same symptoms i experienced with my car and today fixed it 😊😊

[@vseb4724]

hi! i know my thrust arms on my bmw need replacement. got the appointment thsi week. the thing that bothers me the most is the wandering. the wheel often rotates left/right and i need to counter it. will it solve the problem? it is a wishbone shaped arm eith the bushing (they are leaking oil and 100% need replacement. left front bushing is super worn. tire is also staying a bit forward is not centrred in the wheel like the roght side) can you recommend me other things i should check? thank you very much!

[@autoinfogroup1629]

Like said the lower arms needs a replacement and additionally, check the steering rack for preload adjustments. If its too off, vehicle won't stay straight.

[@imrankhanameen]

My truck vibrates intensely when I brake at 60mph+ but not on city speeds. Dealership said it was my brakes so got my rotors and pads replaced warped rotors but the problem wasn’t solved. A mechanic friend said my lower control arm bushings have play in them but dealership disagrees - could it be due to the lower control arm?

[@autoinfogroup1629]

Hi, yes that could be a bad lower control arm. Also other reasons include, bad bearing setup or bearing itself, bent hub etc..

[@jamesgoforth1606]

It will cause torque-steer as well.

[@test7389]

Does one bad control arm wears both tires out? I change the left side which has a play does this mean it will stop both of the the tires uneven wears?

[@faast4waard]

Yes that's correct

[@ruankoen5947]

No only the wheel on that control arm But it might be that you camber is out or your bushing might be bad So not necessarily a bad control arm

[@alvisedamosto6790]

Hi, I have slight steering wheel vibration at every speed but it’s not constant, it varies, sometimes only at highway speeds and sometimes even at lower speeds. The steering wheel has some play in it and sometimes it feels as the wheel is misaligned but not always, it varies. I also feel that the wheel wobbles. Could it be the control arm or is it a steering rack problem? Thanks

[@autoinfogroup1629]

Lowr arm can cause misaligned steering wheel and excess tire wear but vibration is less chance. Do check the bearing and balance the tires also check if the tires are in good condition.

[@RWarrior777]

@@autoinfogroup1629 will this problem cause a bumpy ride? Or is that more of a bushing problem? Thanks

[@autoinfogroup1629]

Any worn ball joints less likely cause bumpy rides, a bad tire, worn shock absorber or bushing does cause the said problem.

[@kimberlysmith3628]

@@autoinfogroup1629 Is it best to go ahead and replace the control arm, ball joints and tie rods ends since my car has over 200,000 miles? I've never replaced those and plus I don't want to get one done then will eventually have to pay out more money if the others wear out later down the line.

[@autoinfogroup1629]

Yes it's better to replace as whole bcs the rubber bushing will become hard as time goes n will eventually break. If it's more than 8 years or more than 150k miles it's good to change. Also the joints might be worn enough and with limited grease as well.

I guess I shouldn't be doing 170mph in my AMG when I have bad control arms

[@gbizzle201]

I honestly feel like it’s not too bad as long as it’s the front arms cause when your going fast the weight is in the back of the suspension mostly. Just watch out for bumps 😬. Also I notice you put this a month ago? Any updates, if not I’m going to assume you died because of it.

[@ruankoen5947]

​@gbizzle201 front wheels take huge amount of weight when stopping amd turning

[@MTambadou865]

How long is it safe to drive the vehicle for when all symptoms are showing ?

[@autoinfogroup1629]

Better fix it soon...not fixing it mean more tire wear and may be more suspension parts to get affected.

[@robertziroyan8726]

I was told to replace it immediately, as I was planning to do a lot of highway/high speed driving. This should allow you to avoid an accident and costly tow services.
