Why did you need to replace the control arm?

This is a big no. If loosening any bolt stoped the noise you still have a problem....

Thanks, we tightend everything to spec so i didn't think that was it. we drove it some and it seemed to stop making the noise. put new tires and rims yesterday was a big help and getting an alignment today. probabbly just camber off. it had been worn for so long the poor car didn't no how to act LOL
