I remember a couple of guys having their control arms replaced.
What were the circumstances and how was it resolved?
It seems with 5039 miles on my car both upper drivers side arms are clunking and have abnormal feel.

I had one replaced after a misdiagnosis - problem was a tie rod end
The control arm was covered by warranty but the tie rod end was not. I replaced the tie rod ends myself with parts from ECS.
I wouldn't call my tie rod end symptom a "clunk". "Rubbery pop" is how I described it. One way to be pretty sure a tie rod end is involved is if the noise occurs both with suspension movement and steering wheel movement.

Re: Grunting noise best describes ....
what I was dealing with. Control arm were first, tie rod ends second until the bushings in the sub frame were found to be at fault. but I only have 25K on my 2001 ar. Dried out and cracked bushings.
