When you are driving, the last thing you want is to feel like your car “floats”, pulls to one side when braking, or that the tires have a mind of their own. For your vehicle to roll in a straight line safely and smoothly, there is a fundamental piece that connects the wheels to the chassis: suspension arms (also known in some places as control arms or suspension arms).
What are they and what do suspension arms do?
Imagine that your car’s wheels need to move up and down to absorb road bumps, but they cannot move forward, backward, or sideways
Suspension arms are, literally, metal arms in the shape of an “A” or a “Y” that do that job: they hold the wheel firmly to the car so it doesn’t fall apart, but give it the necessary flexibility to go up and down smoothly when you go over a pothole. They are the skeleton that keeps everything under control.
When is it time to change them?
Being located in the lowest part of the car, the arms directly receive all the impacts from potholes, moisture, and road wear. You should pay attention if you notice these symptoms:
- Loud metallic noises: If you hear a dry thud (like a “clack”) under the car when going over a pothole or starting up.
- Unstable or “loose” steering: You feel like you have to constantly correct the steering wheel to keep the car in a straight line, especially at high speeds.
- Vibration when braking: The steering wheel or pedal vibrates when you step on the brake (sometimes confused with disc problems, but it can be play in the arms).
- Very rapid tire wear: If the front tires wear out unevenly on the edges.
