This offering from A-Premium includes both left and right rear lower forward control arms manufactured to original-equipment dimensions, each fitted with rubber bushings and supplied pre-greased for easier installation. It is sold as a two-piece solution that replaces the driver and passenger side rear lower forward arms so you can address both sides at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will these control arms affect steering feel and rear stability?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacing degraded control arms tightens rear suspension geometry, which improves how the vehicle responds to steering inputs and reduces lateral play.
