Bad Control Arms: Don't Ignore the Signs

Imagine. You're on the I-2 through Weslaco. You start having trouble driving. You hear popping or clunking -- just the first sign of trouble. Your brakes start to drift, especially hitting a bumpier stretch of road. Suddenly, you've got what seem like steering problems. More than likely, a control arm's failed.

What you want to do is get home (or to a Mopar service center, if you prefer) ASAP. Hoist your vehicle (or have a service tech do it) and inspect the suspension (something it's recommended that you do annually anyway). Find the arms damaged or bent? It's practically a done deal: they're defective. Take a little closer look, though: often, you'll find something more specific -- a degraded ball joint, for instance, or a torn bushing, or both.

What'd be even more catastrophic: continuing to drive with them; more than likely, the front wheels will come loose of the suspension. In other words, you'll probably get into an accident.

How Much Replacing a Control Arm Costs

$600 to $750 or more, on average. It can depend on what Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM you drive. If it's a Chrysler 300 or RAM 1500, for instance, it might run you $660 to $925 or more. If it's a Dodge Ram 1500, you're probably looking at $625 to $950 or so. If it's a Jeep Cherokee, on the other hand: $535 to $600, usually.

You're in luck; here at The Mopar Part Store, we'll help you save some money. Unlike aftermarket control arms, ours are not only OEM-quality but steeply discounted, too; you can enjoy a little peace of mind.
