Control arms are a crucial part of the suspension system of your vehicle. They not only carry the load of the vehicle to the wheel, but they typically also maintain its alignment. Control arms are typically large and strong, so you may be surprised it needs replacing. They contain rubber bushings for smoother rides at the cost of eventual wear, or integrated ball joints that require replacing the entire arm when they wear.

Thank you, especially for that important information of how to torque down the mounting bolts while under load. I knew there was something about it, I just couldn't remember.

This tells you how much Mechanic's rip you off, they charging people a grand to do this, but it's a 9 minute video? Come on

This is for GNA suspension, do you have one for GNB (performance) suspension?

This looks like the same part as the lower control arm for the same era of SRX. Can you confirm the process is essentially the same for the 2011 SRX? The luxury version with non-electric suspension
