OEM Subaru › Control arm

formulaUH 26 Jan 2026, 20:56

Rating 4.0

We've got a 2018 Forester, 118k miles and so far it's been a great vehicle. I've been very impressed with the AWD handling in Montana winters and off-road. I've done all of our maintenance myself after our initial free service period and only recently replaced both front lower control arms and wheel bearings which came out to about $265.

Pros: great vehicle, impressive AWD

Cons: replaced control arms, replaced wheel bearings

Vehicle: Subaru Forester

Mileage: 118000 km

Took a quick look on RA for you and if you scroll down further you'll see the heart symbol next to the Delphi lower control arms at $55 a piece for the front. I'd go with those.

Pros: higher quality tier

Clunks:

Be sure to tell them that you hear grinding and clunking sounds when you turn the wheel so they fix your failing control arms. It’s a terrible design and they all seem to fail.

Cons: terrible design, prone to failure

I ordered “Moog” upper and lower control arms to rebuilt the whole front end of my grand marquis. They all came in Moog boxes but they looked different. Only 1 of 4 control arms looked legit from the pics I sent to the “Moog” rep.

Cons: looked different

Cons: slight vibration remains
