Should the Lower Control Arm Be Replaced Individually or in Pairs?
1 Answers
The lower control arm can be replaced individually; simply replace the damaged one. Below is relevant information about the lower control arm ball joint: 1. Function: The lower control arm, commonly known as the lower suspension, primarily supports the vehicle body and shock absorbers while buffering vibrations during driving. Shock absorbers play a significant auxiliary role for the lower suspension. 2. Lifespan: Only with the harmonious cooperation of shock absorbers and springs can an excellent suspension system be formed. If the lower control arm bushings are damaged, replace the bushings; if the lower control arm ball joint is damaged, replace the lower control arm. Under normal driving conditions, the lifespan of the lower control arm typically ranges from 80,000 to 250,000 kilometers, depending on the road conditions.
