New Control Arm with Ball Joint Set from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ASFK00123

shows you how to replace a front control arm on a 1997 Pontiac Sunfire. This procedure is exactly the same for any 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, or 05 Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire. This procedure is also generally the same for any vehicle with a macpherson front strutsuspension. As you can see by the video this is an involved replacement but it is not impossible for the do-it-yourselfer. Access to a lift is a big plus but not necessary. You may need to replace the front control arms on your car if you are feeling a pulling when braking and that pull is transferring to your hands through the steering wheel. This repair is moderate. It requires a floor jack, jack stands, and then basic tools, wrenches, hammers, pry bars. Beyond that it does require a "pickle fork" or ball joint fork which is a more specialized tool that not everyone has in their DIY tool set.

This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
1995 Pontiac Sunfire
1996 Pontiac Sunfire
1997 Pontiac Sunfire
1998 Pontiac Sunfire
1999 Pontiac Sunfire
2000 Pontiac Sunfire
2001 Pontiac Sunfire
2002 Pontiac Sunfire
2003 Pontiac Sunfire
2004 Pontiac Sunfire
2005 Pontiac Sunfire
