Change History

These things eat control arms. The noise, if a clunk, manifests itself mostly while driving slowly through parking lots with undulating surfaces. You would think hard bumps do it, but you really only ear it when road noise is really low. Common, no big deal and pretty easy to replace yourself. The issue really is positive ID of the bad control arm but it is most likely that lateral arm.
My links were always fine, it was the control arm for me.

It is probably the lateral arm going front-to-back. You can not tell with the car jacked as it takes quite a bit of force, a car load, to make it move.
