Re: control arm problem
some signs:
-the car "wanders" really bad on the highway, uneven pavement... even when you're holding the steering wheel still
-the car likes to pull different directions and do odd stuff when you go over roads with ruts
-when turning into a corner, the car first turns normal for a few seconds, then suddenly pulls farther toward the direction your turning
-if you can grab the wheel and pull it away from the car and see the control arm moving... if the bushings are stiff enough this should not be happening
-severe front tire wear, even though the alignment seems perfectly fine
