This ball joint has separated while driving
There are a few reasons why a control arm may need to be replaced. A worn-out ball joint that cannot be replaced separately is one of the most common reasons. A ball joint is an extremely important component. If it wears out, the car is unsafe to drive: the front wheel can separate from the lower suspension causing the vehicle to lose control.
In the photo above, the ball joint has separated while driving, although the owner was lucky that it happened at a slow speed. If this had happened on the highway, the outcome could have been much worse.
Worn out or torn control arm bushings is another reason a control arm may need to be replaced. In some cars, control arm bushings can be replaced separately, but it involves more labor and could cost more. For this reason, the whole control arm is usually replaced if the bushings are worn out. The control arm is also the most common part that bends in a collision involving one of the front wheels or after hitting the curb. A bent control arm must be replaced.
