Control Arms

What Are Control Arms?

A car's control arm is one of the core components of a suspension system. What exactly does it do? It serves as the direct connection points between the front wheel assemblies and the vehicle's frame. This connection allows a driver to steer a car smoothly, guiding the wheels up and down with the road surface.

There are two types of control arms: the lower control arm and the upper control arm. Both play a key role in absorbing shocks and ensuring your ride is well-balanced.

Why Are Control Arms Important?

Control arms are designed to take on a great deal of stress and impact. But, ultimately, it’s a wear-and-tear component with a limited lifespan. 

What are the signs you should look out for? A general decrease in stability and handling is one of them. You may also begin to notice some more obvious signs like clunking noises and uneven tyre wear.

If your lower and upper control arms aren’t as stable as they used to, your vehicle’s suspension takes a great hit, making it difficult to maintain proper balance when driving over uneven surfaces.

That’s why you should make regular checks and replacements to keep your car safe and running smoothly.

For vehicles like the Nissan 180SX-200SX, Volkswagen Amarok, Toyota Hilux, and Ford Courier, using top-tier control arms from trusted brands like TruPro, Ironman 4x4, KYB, and
