Automotive Control Arms Online
The control arms, or "A arms" as some call them, are an integral part of your vehicle's front suspension. Some vehicles have four, while others have two. The difference is due to the type of suspension system your vehicle features.
A control arm suspension system has both upper and lower control arms. The upper control arms connect to the top part of your wheel, while the lower arms are attached to the bottom part. In a strut suspension system, the lower control arms are still employed. However, struts replace the upper control arms.
What Control Arms Do
Control arms connect a vehicle's body or frame to a wheel assembly via a steering knuckle using rubber bushings. These allow the arm to swing vertically as the front wheels and tires roll over road hazards. The outer end of a control arm connects via a ball joint. The latter is either permanently attached or pressed or bolted in for easier replacement.
How to Spot Failing Control Arms
Even the highest quality control arms can eventually wear out, bend, or wind up suffering damage. If that happens, your safe handling is jeopardized. Signs of a faulty control arm include:
- Vibrating or wobbling wheels
- The steering wheel wanders or pulls sharply to one side
- You hear unusual noises
- Your ride comfort suddenly worsens
- You spot uneven tire wear
