I have had to change lower control arm inner and outer tie rod and cv axle 2 time because parts are cheap and slightest amount of force such as hitting a curb causes massive suspension damage. Both times car was running unber 20 miles an hour and hit a curb and it destroyed suspension. Second time tie rod broke while driving down the road and lost control and ended up hitting guard rail and same thing destroyed suspension.
