Control Arms

Control arms are essential suspension components that connect the vehicle's chassis to the wheel hub, allowing for precise wheel movement while maintaining alignment and ride comfort. A lower control arm typically manages the up-and-down motion of the wheel, while an upper control arm complements it in systems where dual-arm configurations are used. Together, these control arms help stabilize the car during braking, turning, and acceleration.

Worn or damaged control arm bushings can lead to steering instability, uneven tire wear, and clunking noises, making routine inspection and replacement critical. The bushings – control arm system absorbs road vibrations and reduces metal-on-metal contact, preserving both comfort and safety. When maintaining a car control arm, it’s important to consider the specific geometry and stress points of your vehicle's suspension to ensure optimal handling and performance.
