FAQs
What is a control arm?
A control arm, also known as a wishbone, is a pivot-arm suspension component that connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's frame. It allows the wheel to move up and down while controlling its position.
Why is the ball joint important on this part?
The ball joint allows for rotational and pivotal movement, which is essential for steering and absorbing road imperfections, enabling the wheel to turn and flex independently.
How do I know if my control arm needs replacing?
Symptoms include uneven tire wear, a tendency for the vehicle to pull to one side, a wandering steering feel, or noticeable clunking noises when turning or driving over bumps.
Can I install this myself?
While possible for experienced DIYers, control arm replacement involves critical suspension components. Professional installation is recommended for safety and to ensure proper alignment.
What does 'right lower placement' mean?
It indicates the specific position this control arm is designed for – on the right side of the vehicle, in the lower position of the suspension assembly.
What are the benefits of a sheet steel construction?
Sheet steel offers a good balance of strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness, providing robust support for suspension loads.
What is a wheel alignment and why is it needed?
A wheel alignment adjusts the angles of the wheels to the manufacturer's specifications. It's crucial after replacing suspension parts like control arms to ensure proper handling, stability, and even tire wear.
Troubleshooting
Vehicle pulls to one side after installation
A professional wheel alignment is necessary. Ensure all mounting hardware is torqued to specification.
Clunking or rattling noise from the front suspension
Check if the control arm and ball joint are securely fastened. Verify that no other suspension components are loose or damaged.
Uneven tire wear continues
Confirm that the control arm was the correct part and was installed properly. Re-check wheel alignment settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This control arm requires professional installation. It replaces the existing right lower control arm on the vehicle's suspension. Proper torque specifications for all mounting bolts and the ball joint nut must be followed. A professional wheel alignment is highly recommended after installation to ensure optimal vehicle handling and tire wear.
Compatibility:
Consult your vehicle's service manual or a qualified mechanic to confirm compatibility using the part number TC1225. Key cross-references include BORG & BECK BCA6070, FIRST LINE FCA6070, MOOG RO-WP-6595, and OEM RBJ101060. Ensure this part is specified for the right lower position on your vehicle's make and model.
Care:
As a suspension component, the control arm is subject to wear. Regular inspections during routine maintenance are advised. Look for signs of damage, corrosion, or play in the ball joint. Keep the area around the suspension clean to prevent excessive dirt and grime buildup.
