Compatible equipment / model
- 2014–2018 Subaru Forester—verify side and drivetrain configuration
Product Overview
Clunking over bumps, unstable steering, uneven tire wear, torn bushings, or ball-joint play can justify replacing the complete arm after strut, tie-rod, wheel-bearing, and subframe checks. A loaded arm renews the bushings and joint together instead of pressing worn pieces into an old arm.
Suspension position is safety-critical. Confirm side, ball-joint taper, bushing brackets, sway-bar connection, and chassis production date.
