Passenger side suspension clunk

[JustFPV]

I just had my front lower control arms replaced after experiencing really bad clunking noises on both sides and some weird handling when going on ramps for the highway. The alignment was a lil wonky (did alignment twice to try and sort out wandering and weird feeling in turns) and after pulling off the old control arms I see why now. The bushings were shot and the arms themselves were rotting away, the bolts were scary bad. I have a 2006 yaris hatchback with the 1.5l engine and manual trans. I took it to 2 shops after buying it to get the front end solid that replaced the front struts, wheel bearings and new rotors/pads and the suspension still felt terrrible. I brought it to my friend who runs a mercedes repair shop and within 2min he saw how bad the control arms were. He had to cut the front and rear bolts off to get the arms off and man were they bad. I don't know how the arms held on with how rusted and worn away the middle of the bolts were. The head mechanic said they were a terrible design by toyota and that they were going to use mercedes bolts for a clk230 to replace them (heads up for anyone who wants proper bolts that'll last a lifetime). I picked up the car last night and immediately could feel the improvement in tracking and handling bumps/potholes. I'm finally happy with how my yaris drives after having it for almost 2 years now. I know its an old car but its drives well now and with gas prices and inflation, I will keep this car for as long as I can to do my daily driving. I bought it with 160k (km's) and now have 218k but I plan to make it last to 500k lol.
