Well, I guess it'* time for a new driver'* side control arm. I just took a corner (not really even that hard/quickly) and my steering all of a sudden went crazy. So I pulled over..and Voila! My control arm was torn near the wheel, kind of dangling there.

So, it'* time for new control arms.

Suggestions on a good brand/place to buy?
How hard is the installation?
Any writeups?

Being a older car, you may want to check local salvage yards. A pick and pull would be a good option. That way you can practice removing the donor, then pull yours and put the new one on.

That'* a bit of a problem...The nearest one is a good 8-9 hours away, so I'll have to order it. : /

Have you checked at www.rockauto.com

I looked under 2001 Intrigue; they only had one brand..

I'm checking under 2001 grand prix'* now.

"mevotech'*" for $118 a piece.

These might work though.

How difficult is it to put these things in?

I've actually never done one, never had the need. Don't look to hard, two pivot points, and then suspension, sway bar, and steering.

Phew..Lucky! The salt-crap on the roads here, along with the potholes, completely destroyed mine. :(

Are there any writeups anywhere? I'm pretty sure I can figure it out on my own, it looks pretty straight forward, but pictures always help.
