Control Arms & Parts

The control arms on your car, pickup, van, or SUV are essential components in your vehicle's suspension system. Also called "A arms," they connect the vehicle frame to the front wheels. The end at the frame features a control arm bushing, while the other end connects to the wheel assembly. Depending on your model, you can have either two or four at work.

With a traditional control arm suspension, two control arms attach to both upper and lower parts of the wheel. In a strut suspension system, the strut replaces the upper control arms -- leaving you with two lower control arms connecting to the wheel assembly.
