Rear Control Arm

Rear Control Arm – Essential to Suspension

The rear control arm connects to the frame by a control arm shaft and or bushing. The arm spans out to the spindle or knuckle support and is connected with a ball joint or a pin and bushing. In many applications the rear control arm works in unison with a lower control arm. This is called a double wishbone suspension. Control arms typically house wearable suspension parts. The inner part of the upper control arm will attach to the frame by a shaft and or bushings. The outer end will have a replaceable ball joint or upper outer pin and steel bushing.
