The CONTROL ARM helps create a smooth ride. By allowing each wheel the capability to navigate over bumpy roads, the CONTROL ARM keeps the tire on the ground and softens the jarring movements you would feel if the CONTROL ARM wasn’t in place. You can think of it as the strong but flexible connection between your wheels and the steady frame of your car.

As a vital part of the suspension system in your vehicle, the CONTROL ARM has a few key components: an arm, rubber bushings that attach to your car’s frame, and bushings or ball joints. In addition to your CONTROL ARM providing some flex while riding on tough terrain, it functions as a place to mount additional suspension parts, including shocks and the anti-roll bar. Additionally, the CONTROL ARM creates agile handling of your car.

While a CONTROL ARM is incredibly strong and created for endurance, you may find a need to swap out the CONTROL ARM. Over time, the joints can wear down, leading to rougher rides.

How can you tell it’s time to get a replacement CONTROL ARM? You may notice shaky steering or a loud banging noise when driving over bumps. In addition to wear and tear over time, impairment can happy to a CONTROL ARM in a crash or if your vehicle has been towed incorrectly.
