Mopar® Control Arms FAQs

What Do Mopar® Control Arms Do?

Control arms, also known as "A arms," connect your vehicle's frame to the front wheels. The arm 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.

What Types of Mopar® Control Arms Are There?

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.

How Do You Spot Problems With Your Control Arms?

Even the best control arms and parts can eventually go wear out, bend, break, or get otherwise damaged. Since that puts your safety at risk, you'll want to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Signs of trouble include:

• Wobbling or vibrating wheels
• Your steering wheel roams about or pulls sharply to one side
• You hear strange noises
• Your ride comfort gets worse
• You notice uneven tire wear
