Key Features & Benefits

It connects the wheel hub – basically where the wheel attaches – to the vehicle’s frame. It allows the wheel to move up and down while also controlling its position left and right. It’s a pretty key component in allowing the suspension to work correctly. It's got bushings in it, rubber bits that allow movement while soaking up road vibrations, and ball joints at either end for steering and suspension travel. Think of it as a strong link in the suspension system. It takes a lot of stress, transferring the forces from bumps in the road, braking, and steering up to the vehicle’s chassis. It works with the other suspension parts—shocks, springs, stabilizer bar—to keep your tires in contact with the road and give you a smooth ride and predictable handling. It’s part of what keeps your car stable when you go around corners.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If one of these goes bad, you’ll notice it. You'll notice if your steering feels loose, or if the car pulls to one side. You might hear clunking noises when you go over bumps. It affects your wheel alignment significantly, so you’ll likely wear through tires faster too. Basically, it’s a safety item, and keeping these in good shape is important for handling and keeping everything riding smoothly. You can find replacements for these pretty easily, even online at places like Fixparts Online, and it's something you really don’t want to put off if it's showing signs of wear.
