New Control Arm with Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com https://trq.video/ia-1ASLF00956

This video shows you how to install a new quality TRQ lower control arm with ball joint in your 2014-2018 Subaru Forester. Control arms are a crucial part of the suspension system of your vehicle. They not only carry the load of the vehicle to the wheel, but they typically also maintain its alignment. Control arms are typically large and strong, so you may be surprised it needs replacing. They contain rubber bushings for smoother rides at the cost of eventual wear, or integrated ball joints that require replacing the entire arm when they wear.

Estimated installation time for a professional technician is approximately: 1 hour 54 minutes

This repair was done on a 2014 Subaru Forester 2.5i Limited 2.5L Sport Utility 4-Door AWD Automatic and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2014 Subaru Forester
2015 Subaru Forester
2016 Subaru Forester
2017 Subaru Forester
2018 Subaru Forester
