Does a control arm kit include the ball joints?

Yes. The ball joints and bushings are pressed in before it ships, which removes the press work that otherwise makes this a workshop job rather than a driveway one.

What are the symptoms of a worn control arm?

A clunk or knock over bumps and at low speed, vague or wandering steering, uneven tyre wear, and an alignment that will not hold its settings. Worn bushings often show as cracked or displaced rubber at the pivot.

Do I need an alignment after replacing control arms?

Yes. The control arm sets camber and caster, so the geometry changes as soon as it is replaced regardless of how carefully the old one is measured.
