This kit gives you new \u003cstrong\u003eHyundai Santa Fe control arms\u003c\/strong\u003e for the 2007-2012 model years, plus the tie rods and sway bar links that usually wear out right alongside them. It also fits the 2011-2013 Kia Sorento, which shares the same front suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe put this together as a full 8-piece kit for a simple reason. By the time a Santa Fe has enough miles on it to need control arms, the tie rod ends and links are almost always tired too. Doing them all at once means you take the front end apart one time, get one alignment, and you're done, instead of chasing a new clunk every few months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Hyundai Santa Fe Control Arms Wear Out\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Santa Fe is a mid-size SUV that a lot of people use as a family hauler, and the front lower arms carry a big share of that weight every time you brake or hit a bump. Over time the rubber bushings dry out and tear, and the ball joint picks up play. You'll usually notice a dull clunk at low speed, a vague feeling in the steering, or the car shifting a little when you come to a firm stop. Left alone, it gets worse and starts chewing through tires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach arm in this kit comes with the ball joint and bushings already installed, so there's no pressing involved. You unbolt the old arm and bolt in the new one.
