The CONTROL ARM helps create a smoother ride. By giving each wheel the independent ability to navigate over bumps and dips on the roadways, the CONTROL ARM helps keep your tire on the road and softens the jarring movements that would occur without this key suspension part. It's the flexible link between your rapidly rotating wheels and the steady frame of your car.

As part of your vehicle’s suspension system, the CONTROL ARM is made up of a metal arm, rubber bushings that attach to the frame of your car, and ball joints or bushings. In addition to your CONTROL ARM providing suspension on bumpy streets, it doubles as a spot on which other suspension or steering parts can adhere, such as shocks and stabilizer bar. Additionally, the CONTROL ARM creates agile handling of your car.

Though engineered with strength and built for longevity, you may find a need to replace your CONTROL ARM. Gradually, bushings and ball joints can wear out, causing poor vehicle handling.

How do you know it’s time to replace a CONTROL ARM? You may notice vibrations in the steering wheel or loud sounds when riding on rough roads. It’s also possible to damage a CONTROL ARM in an accident or if your vehicle has been towed incorrectly.
