Your CONTROL ARM helps to provide a stable ride. By allowing each wheel the capability to move up and down over the bumps in the road, the CONTROL ARM keeps the tire on the ground and absorbs the vibrations you would feel if the CONTROL ARM wasn’t in place. You can think of it as the strong but flexible connection between the wheels on the road and the body of your vehicle.
As part of the suspension system in your vehicle, the CONTROL ARM has a few key components: an arm, rubber bushings that connect to the body of your vehicle, and bushings or ball joints. While the CONTROL ARM allows flexibility on bumpy streets, it doubles as a mount for other suspension parts, including shocks and the sway bar. The CONTROL ARM also aids with sharper handling while driving.
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, causing poor vehicle handling.
How can you tell it’s time to get a new CONTROL ARM? Some symptoms of a poor functioning CONTROL ARM include shaky steering or strange sounds when riding on rough roads. 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.
