This video shows you how to install new front lower control arms from TRQ on your 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner. 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.
Estimated installation time for a professional technician is approximately: 1 hour 18 minutes
