Suspension Arms & Joints

About our suspension arms

Providing a link between the frame of your car and the suspension system, the control arm is designed to provide a comfortable ride and is attached with the aid of bushings. Most cars today feature two lower suspension arms, but some have three or four arms - it all depends on the make, model and age of your vehicle.

Suspension Ball Joints

The joints are responsible for connecting the suspension arm and the steering knuckle, and as you drive helps to absorb bumps in the road. And while both the arm and joints are exceptionally strong, they are subject to wear because they are in constant use.

We recommend that you replace your suspension arms and joints every 90,000 to 100,000 miles. Depending on the type of car you own, suspension arms and joints come in a range of shapes and sizes.
