Rotor touching control arm - Car Talk Community
2024年11月9日 · I for one want to see a picture of a rotor touching a control arm. Maybe the rotor is touching the strut because you turned the strut 180 degrees when you put it back together. Edit: could you have put the backing plate on backwards, it will touch the rotor, make a lot of noise and that is very easy to do. I’ve done that few times.
Lower control arms/Bushings...can someone explain these?
2015年6月22日 · Each lower control arm on this car is 2 bolts and one ball joint taper. Depending on how rusty, it should be easy and quick to replace the entire arm. Too much labor to replace ball joints and bushings on your original arms. $900 is too much IMHO but I can easily DIY this and the alignment. You can do better, I am sure with a few phone calls.

Do I have to change both control arms at the same time?
2017年5月16日 · My mistake, I thought you meant changing the control arms twice, not tires. If this is the first control arm being changed on a 200, 000 mile car, by all means replace both! But also have the alignment carefully checked. There is definitely an issue.

2023年11月13日 · I was checking my daughter’s 2009 Cobalt LT over and discovered a ball joint I replaced a few months back in the summer was bad again. I figured it was a cheap part that I got off the internet, so I went to the local parts store and got one of theirs. As I was taking the ball joint loose, I noticed the control arm moving and found the bushing to be shot. I …

I don’t trust dealerships so after I got it back I drove it for a while to make sure it was good. This morning, several days later, I ...
Damaged Lower Control Arm - Car Talk Community

As long as the control-arm replacement job is done correctly, and that the other two plane-defining points remain correct, you should be good to go.
