Need 2009 Honda Civic ball joints, control arms, or a front-end kit? This page is 8th-gen Civic (2006–2011). 2012+ 9th-gen and 2016+ 10th-gen arms and bushings are not a straight swap. Leave a comment with the year and the noise if you want a part-number check.
A clunk at low speed is usually a ball joint or sway link. Wander or inner-edge tire wear is more often a tie rod or a worn control-arm bushing. Most people replace the control arm as a complete unit with the ball joint already pressed in.

While you’re in there

Shop notes only — not a service manual. Use the factory procedure or a Haynes/Chilton manual for wrench work, torque, and safety steps. Leave a comment with drivetrain, suspension type, and the symptom if you want a part-number check.
