Control Arms

Control Arms

Control arms are suspension links that connect the wheel hub and steering knuckle to the vehicle frame. They allow controlled movement of the wheels while maintaining alignment and stability. Control arms work with bushings and ball joints to absorb shocks, reduce vibrations, and ensure precise steering. Depending on the suspension design, a vehicle may have upper and lower control arms. Wear or damage can result in clunking noises, uneven tire wear, and poor handling. Regular inspection is essential, as faulty control arms can compromise safety. High-quality control arms contribute to better ride comfort, improved handling, and extended suspension component life.
