Man, you nailed it!!! My Subaru WRX has been driving me crazy with a clunking noise. Thought it was struts. Took it to my shop and it's the right front lower control arm. EVERY symptom you listed is what I was experiencing. Thanks for the confirmation of what they found!!

Nice video man. I noticed some shaking in my 2011 honda pilot, took it to mechanic to diagnose and he told me ai have to replace front two lower arm controls. Now, after replacing them, no more shaking. Keep it up!!

Bro, I don’t post much to auto maintenance vids or really in general but (assuming you even see this) I wanted to thank you for finally giving me something to work with that was both concise and informative.

I’ve tried tons of videos for tips to isolate the cause of my vibration and this one did it for me. I can’t tell you how grateful I am. Thank you so much!

great video another symptom is your going straight down the road and the steering wheel will be cocked to the left or right not setting straight. And when you hit your brakes it can pull to the left or right depending on what one is loose or bad.

Subscribed. You go straight to the point and explain it well.

[Hayzeus]

Dude nailed it, I’m taking my vehicle to the shop tomorrow but this gave me confirmation of what it is. THANK YOU! just subbed

Very good explanations along with demonstrations and no excess Blah Blah Blah or head cracking music that you hear in many many many YouTube videos.... Thanks. Great job.

Sitting in the shop getting mines replaced right now. I can’t wait to go fast again 🏁

Had a feeling it was the control arm and you helped me confirm it thanks for a the quick straight to the point video much appreciated

This makes a lot of sense I have 114k on my truck I had a bad alignment and had to get new rotors thought that would fix the vibration which It did but I still feel at 65 mph so Def gonna tackle this next and hope that's the issue !

[M.V.P]

I change tires every month because they get bad worn out.I think and hope this video will help I’m doing my control arms this Friday because my truck always pulls to one side or other even alignment doesn’t help hopefully 🤞 changing control arms will help 😢

Got cupping in my tires. I think you are spot on

[jaywholoveseveryone]

Dangitt!! Symptoms #2 & #4. But, NOW I know what it is. Thanks for this video.

[hperezk]

Thank you so much for the symptom examples! I watched so many videos but yours was the only one that nailed it what to look out for. Thank you!

[jec]

Thank you so much! I've been finding the reason for those noises and I ended up replacing many stuff but its still in there.

[danielleboddy]

This video was very helpful....I already knew I needed to replace the control arm...but this helped me know how bad or how fast I need to replace

My '12 acadia had a popping sound sometimes when starting to move. Replaced stabilizer link, both struts & shocks, and finally after replacing lower control arm the noises went away
