The CONTROL ARM helps create a smoother ride. By giving each wheel the independent ability to flex up and down with bumpy roads, the CONTROL ARM helps keep your tire flat on the road and lessens the harsh bouncing you’d otherwise feel while driving. You can think of it as the strong but flexible connection between the wheels on the road and the body of your vehicle.
Included in your suspension system, the CONTROL ARM comprises a metal arm, rubber bushings that adhere to the body of your vehicle, and bushings or ball joints. Not only does the CONTROL ARM provide some flex while driving on rough surfaces, it doubles as a spot on which other suspension or steering parts can adhere, 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 built to last, you can expect to eventually need to repair the CONTROL ARM. After daily use, the joints can wear down, making your ride extra bumpy and noisy.
When should you replace a CONTROL ARM? Some symptoms of a poor functioning CONTROL ARM include vibrations in the steering wheel or a loud banging noise while driving on bumpy roads. It’s also possible to damage a CONTROL ARM during a collision or if your vehicle isn't towed properly.
