I hit a pot hole and the tow truck driver just said my control arm is broke and the tire rod. I was wondering if you guys see anything else.

Hi,

It is hard to tell looking at the pictures if the control arm is damaged. Also, I'm not sure if he was referring to the upper control arm or the lower. However, I will provide directions for both.

To start, here are two links the explain how in general it is done. Use these as guides.

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/lower-control-arm-bushing-replacement

If you look at the attachments below, they include directions and pictures specific to your vehicle for replacement. Using the links and the directions, you should be fine.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
