Key Features & Benefits

These things connect the wheel assembly to the vehicle’s frame. They allow the wheel to move up and down while also keeping it positioned correctly. Think of it like the arm that holds your wheel in place, but it needs to flex and move with the road. They're usually made of metal, pretty strong stuff, but bushings and ball joints within the arm are wear items. These arms are a key part of your suspension system. They work with all the other pieces – shocks, springs, everything – to give you a smooth ride and keep your tires in contact with the road. They essentially translate the movement of your suspension into wheel movement, and vice versa. It’s what lets your tires follow the bumps and curves in the road instead of transmitting every little jolt directly to the cabin.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

These are really important for both handling and safety. If one of these arms fails, or even just gets seriously worn, it can throw off your wheel alignment, cause uneven tire wear, and seriously affect how your car steers. You’ll notice if one goes bad, generally. Expect things like vibrations, pulling to one side when braking or driving, or even clunking noises from the front end, especially over bumps. It’s a safety thing, so you want to address it as soon as possible. We actually have a good selection of these on Fixparts Online if you’re looking to get one, and we can help you find the right one for your vehicle.
