Upper Control Arm - replace both?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I had to replace an upper control arm last summer and I'm just wondering if it would be worth replacing the other side as well? Similar to how you would replace both banana arms if one fails?

If you replaced it with something aftermarket such as an adjustable one or one with a polybush then yes replace them in pairs to keep the car even. 

If you replaced it with oem then there's no harm in leaving the other side so long as it's in good condition. 

 

I think a lot of people replace stuff like that in pairs just because you've already got all the tools etc ready and it's likely if one has failed the other isn't far behind.
