Quality Used Front Lower Control Arms You Can Trust

Your front lower control arm takes the brunt of the road's impact. Whether it's dodging deep potholes or accidentally clipping a curb, these components can easily bend, making your car impossible to align and dangerous to drive. At Falcon Car Parts, we specialize in providing genuine used lower control arms that restore your vehicle's handling.

Every used control arm in our inventory is carefully removed from un-wrecked (or non-suspension damaged) donor vehicles. We rigorously inspect the metal for bends, cracks, and severe rust, ensuring you get a part that will keep you safe on the road.

  • OEM Forging: Factory steel and aluminum are far superior to the brittle metals used in cheap aftermarket parts.
  • Visual Geometry Check: Verified against straight edges to ensure the arm has not been warped in a collision.
  • Bushing Inspection: While we recommend fresh bushings, we reject arms with completely obliterated or metal-on-metal mounts.

Control Arms for Every Vehicle Configuration

Suspension geometries vary wildly by manufacturer. We stock exact OEM matches for your specific chassis.

A-Arms (Wishbone)

Classic triangular shape with two inner frame mounts and one outer ball joint mount. Extremely common on trucks and SUVs.

MacPherson Strut Arms

L-shaped or straight single-pivot arms typically found on front-wheel-drive sedans paired with a strut tower.

Aluminum vs. Steel

We provide exact material matches. Cast aluminum for weight savings on modern cars, or stamped/forged steel for durability.

Our 6-Point Quality Check for Control Arms

Suspension safety is paramount. Every used front lower control arm sold by Falcon passes the following standards:

  • 1. Straightness & Geometry: Arms are inspected on a flat surface to ensure they haven't been bent, twisted, or warped by impact.
  • 2. Structural Integrity: We check for hairline cracks in aluminum castings and structural failure in welded steel seams.
  • 3. Ball Joint Taper Inspection: The hole where the ball joint mounts is checked to ensure it hasn't been elongated or 'wallowed out'.
  • 4. Rust & Corrosion Review: While surface rust on steel is normal, we reject any parts with deep scaling or rust rot.
  • 5. Bushing Condition: Factory rubber bushings are inspected for severe dry rot, deep tearing, or metal-on-metal separation.
  • 6. Left/Right Verification: Control arms are highly directional. We guarantee you receive the correct orientation for your repair.

Common Questions About Buying Used Lower Control Arms

Used front lower control arms typically cost between $40 and $150. Prices vary based on the vehicle make, whether it is forged aluminum or stamped steel, and if it includes a pressed-in ball joint.

The lower control arm connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's frame. It stabilizes the wheel, allows the suspension to pivot up and down over bumps, and maintains your vehicle's alignment.

Common signs include loud clunking or popping noises over bumps, steering wheel vibration, the vehicle pulling to one side, uneven tire wear, or an inability to properly align the car.

Yes, if the factory design features pressed-in bushings or ball joints, they will be included. While we inspect them for severe wear, many mechanics choose to press in fresh bushings and joints during installation for maximum longevity.

Aftermarket suspension arms often use thinner metals and cheap rubber bushings that tear quickly. A used OEM control arm provides factory-forged strength and exact suspension geometry.

No, it is highly dangerous. A bent arm severely compromises your steering control, rapidly destroys your tires, and can snap under load, causing you to lose a wheel while driving.

It is generally recommended to replace them in pairs to ensure even bushing wear on both sides. However, if you only bent one side hitting a pothole or curb, you can safely replace just the damaged arm.

Yes, absolutely. Any time a major suspension component like a control arm is removed or replaced, a professional wheel alignment is necessary to ensure the vehicle tracks straight.

No. The lower control arm sits at the bottom of the wheel hub and typically bears more weight and structural stress. The upper control arm (if your vehicle's suspension design uses one) sits at the top to stabilize camber.
