Front lower control arm
I have seen a few different pictures of what the Lower control arm looks like. Can someone please post a picture or describe what the part looks like so I order the correct ones?
I have inner wear on my front tires,
Got some -2degree camber I've heard mostly the Lower control arms need to be replaced.
Thanks
James

Hi Nox,
I'm a newbie and a new jag owner, but i did just replace the right lower control arm in my 03 x type. I bought a used one and replaced the ball joint instead of buying a new one with the ball joint. Worked out well. If it is the ball joint(s) needing replaced this can be done on or off the car by drilling out the rivets that attach them to the control arm. I saved about 50% by doing it this way. I had to take my control arm off because mine was bent.
To get a good picture go to rockauto.com and look up the control arm for your model and it will show you a good picture. I bought my ball joints off of ebay, from an Aus. company. They shipped out fast and free, and they fit great and the car aligns and handles fine.
I would take a picture of the one I removed but as I said, it is bent. Good luck!
