Your CONTROL ARM gives your vehicle the mechanism for a smooth ride. By allowing each wheel the capability to navigate over bumpy roads, the CONTROL ARM helps keep your tire on the road and softens the jarring movements you’d otherwise feel while driving. It’s engineered to be the bond between the wheels on the road and the body of your vehicle.

Included in your vehicle’s suspension system, the CONTROL ARM comprises a metal arm, rubber bushings that attach to the frame of your car, and bushings or ball joints. Not only does the CONTROL ARM provide suspension while driving on rough surfaces, it doubles as a place to mount additional suspension parts, like shocks and the sway bar. The CONTROL ARM also aids with agile handling of your car.

While a CONTROL ARM is incredibly strong and built to last, you may find a need to replace your CONTROL ARM. Gradually, the joints can wear down, causing poor vehicle handling.

When should you replace a CONTROL ARM? Some symptoms of a poor functioning CONTROL ARM include shaky steering or a loud banging noise when riding on rough roads. It’s also possible to damage a CONTROL ARM in an accident or if your vehicle isn't towed properly.
