Your CONTROL ARM helps to provide a smooth ride. By allowing each wheel the capability 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. It's the flexible link between your wheels and the vehicle’s frame.
Included in the suspension system in your vehicle, the CONTROL ARM is made up of an arm, rubber bushings that attach to the body of your vehicle, and bushings or ball joints. While the CONTROL ARM allows some flex while driving on rough surfaces, it doubles as a place to mount additional suspension parts, such as shocks and the sway bar. Additionally, the CONTROL ARM creates responsible handling when you’re behind the wheel.
Though engineered with strength and built to last, you could run into a situation where it’s time to repair the CONTROL ARM. Gradually, bushings and ball joints can wear out, making your ride extra bumpy and noisy.
How can you tell it’s time to get a replacement CONTROL ARM? Some symptoms of a poor functioning CONTROL ARM include vibrations in the steering wheel or loud sounds while driving on bumpy roads. In addition to wear and tear over time, impairment can happy to a CONTROL ARM in a crash or if your vehicle isn't towed properly.
