Comments about Dorman - OE Solutions Control Arm Front Lower Left:
It can be a bit of a challenge to remove the old and install the new but, not bad. Make sure to "load" the suspension before torqueing all the bolts and I'd recommend getting an alignment afterwards. In my case, the alignment was spot on after installing the part and didn't need adjusting but, it's not worth the risk of ruining your tires.
