Should both control arms be replaced on front of car or can just the one bad one

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! If only one control arm is bad on your 2017 Nissan Versa, you can technically replace just the faulty one. However, it's often recommended to replace both, especially if they’ve been through similar wear and tear. This ensures balanced handling and helps avoid uneven tire wear. If you're only changing one, make sure to inspect the other closely—it might not be far behind in terms of wear. Keep in mind an alignment check is always a good idea after replacing a control arm.
