Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Control Arm & Ball Joint Malaysia
Double-wishbone front suspension: upper and lower control arm bushings and ball joints. Body-on-frame construction handles rough terrain better than unibody, but off-road use still accelerates bushing wear. Symptoms: clunking, vague steering, uneven tyre wear. For primarily road-driven units, control arm bushings last 100,000–130,000 km. Off-road vehicles will see wear sooner. OEM or quality aftermarket arms available.

- Ball joint play on a heavy SUV is a safety critical issue — binding or loose ball joints affect steering accuracy and stability
