Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Laser is same model as Mitsusbishi Eclipse.
My mechanic shakes my wheel when it up on jack and said I need new control arms and stabilizer bars.  Car drives and steers smooth.   Control arms have a little rust on them.

Not worth much more than scrap at this point, driving it could put you in harms way as well as others. It’s your car and your money so you need to decide to fix or scrap it.
