Keep your Suspension Connected with a Control Arm

Most vehicles use a set of two control arms, an upper control arm and a lower control arm that connects the suspension and wheel to the chassis. These parts allow the up and down movement of the coil springs and shocks while holding the steering knuckle and spindle onto the chassis. Without this key component, the entire wheel system wouldn't work correctly.

The other essential component of this system is the control arm bushings. These rubber pieces are key to keeping the ride smooth. They allow the control arms to move up and down and greatly reduce the amount of vibration that is transferred to the bench seats. Without these rubber connectors, even a short drive to the grocery store would be uncomfortable. Sears has a variety of single bushings or full bushing kits to repair your control arm system when needed.

If you have to replace the control arms on your car, you'll need to get ones specific to your make, model and year of vehicle. This is because control arm designs change quite frequently. Although they perform the same function, they will be constructed of certain materials and can vary slightly in shape. Sears carries a wide variety of control arm components and bushings, so shop this selection to find the right fit for your specific vehicle.
