New Control Arm with Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com https://trq.video/ia-1ASRU00136

This video shows you how to install a new quality TRQ lower control arm with ball joint in your 2010-2014 Subaru Outback. 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: 48 minutes

This repair was done on a 2012 Subaru Outback 2.5i 2.5L Wagon 4-Door AWD Automatic and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2010 Subaru Outback
2011 Subaru Outback
2012 Subaru Outback
2013 Subaru Outback
2014 Subaru Outback
