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, as well as integral ball joints that also wear. This video shows you how to install a new quality TRQ lower control arm in your 2005-15 Toyota Tacoma.
