Q: On the 2011 Kia Sorento, is there both an upper and a lower front control arm?
I was told where I buy my tires, that I need to replace the front, right upper control arm. When I had my vehicle in the dealership for a recall they said I needed the left lower ball joint. Is there an upper and lower for this model?
My car has 212000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
