Lower control arm loosen, what else will be broken?
 

Now I am a donating member for the help I got from this forum.
I just have a CV boot and an engine mount replaced, now it was found that the left lower arm control needs to be replaced. I don't want to pay $100 for the labor to replace the arm on my $1000 tradein value maxima even though I like it very much.

The transverse link is loosen from the gusset at the bolt(bushing?), it seems something missing and the arm has more space to move. Do I need to replace the whole arm or can I just replace the damaged part?

:worthless:
the arm has 2 bushings that can be replaced and a balljoint that can be replaced.
the arm itself is a solid piece of metal. nothing to replace on it except the whole thing.
now with pics we may be able to tell you that it's not the arm and it's a different piece.
BTW you can replace a control arm yourself within a couple of hours.

Thanks for your reply. It is the front bushing that is loosen, I am not sure the back one. I will take a picutre if it is not too dark tonight when I get home. Also,is the bushing sold at your wesite for front one or for the two?

it's priced per bushing.
unless you buy the 4th gen polyurethane ones which are priced per set
