Or upper ball joints...
Think about it, if a balljoints separates from the knuckle or LCA... What's holding that of the suspension to the car and from falling out?
Scary I know but if you have a partially separated LBJ, you are a short drive away from the pictures above!

So I've noticed since the day after I replaced the Driver's Lower Control arm, somehow the LBJ is still tapping the rotor, just with dips or when there is load on that corner.
I have been inspecting the LCA replacement and it doesn't appear to be bent, it was purchased used. Looking back at the photos, i'm wondering if my red-line markers indicate the arm is also bent. I should probably compare it to the passenger side.
I was thinking of putting in a brand new OEM LCA however, the only thing i'm worried about, is that it might not be the LCA.
The car's body is straight so I don't know what else it could be.
