Research on Control Arm for Honda Civic

A control arm is not something most of us think about very much - at least, until it becomes difficult to steer. Your Honda Civic lower control arm is a very important part of your vehicle's front suspension. This device connects the steering knuckle (that's what holds the front wheel) to the frame, and attaches with the Honda Civic control arm bushing. If your control arm is on the fritz, it's going to be difficult to keep both front wheels in contact with the road. When that component gets worn out, it's more than just an inconvenience - it's downright dangerous.

When You Might Need a Honda Civic control arm replacement

The most common cause of control arm damage is a collision, or hitting a curb with considerable force. This can cause the control arm to bend, in which case it's a loss. Another time to do this is when your Honda Civic control arm bushing is worn out. If this is the case, you may as well replace the entire assembly. You'll be able to tell when there is a problem when you hear strange popping or clunking sounds while driving over a bump or while changing speeds. Sometimes, you may feel like the car has a mind of its own and steering becomes difficult. On the other hand, there may not be any symptoms at all. Sometimes, the only way to know for certain is to get the vehicle up on a lift and do a thorough inspection.

What Will It Cost?

If you are able to do the work yourself, Honda Civic control arm replacement cost doesn't have to be all that much. Depending on the model year and whether or not you're replacing one or both control arms, you'll spend between $30 and $180 for the parts themselves. However, if you have it done professionally (which is a very good idea if you don't have a lot of experience), it can run between $540 and $830. That may seem like a wide range, but varying rates for shop time is only a part of the equation. First of all, is the shop a locally-owned one, a dealership or part of a chain? Dealers tend to charge more. You should also find out if the parts are OEM or aftermarket, and if the latter, which manufacturer they come from. Finally, it's good to know if your Honda Civic control arm replacement includes alignment or if that will cost extra.
