How Much Does a Control Arm Cost to Replace?
Control-arm (wishbone) replacement cost depends on the car and parts. A Cranbourne West specialist explains.
What drives the cost
Control-arm cost depends on whether just the bushes or the whole arm is replaced, how many arms, and the car — many European cars have multi-link suspension with several arms per corner. An alignment afterwards is part of the job.
A single bush is cheap; multiple arms on a multi-link Euro is a bigger job — an inspection gives the honest figure.
What the job involves
We inspect the suspension, replace the worn arms or bushes with quality parts, and finish with a wheel alignment so the car tracks correctly.
