Suspension Arm Repair & Replacement

Expert suspension arm replacement to ensure proper wheel alignment and smooth handling.

Service Overview

In automotive suspension, a control arm, also known as an A-arm, is a hinged suspension link between the chassis and the suspension upright or hub that carries the wheel. The inboard (chassis) end of a control arm is attached by a single pivot, usually a rubber bushing.

Suspension arm bushings are cushions made of rubber, polyurethane or other materials. They're mounted on car suspension and steering joints to absorb road bumps, control the amount of movement in the joints and reduce noise and vibration. Over time, the suspension arm assembly can become worn or bent, which will affect your driving experience.

Worn out or torn suspension arm bushings is another reason a suspension arm may need to be replaced. In some cars, suspension arm bushings can be replaced separately, but it involves more labour and could cost more. For this reason, the whole control arm is usually replaced if the bushings are worn out.
Drivers of a vehicle with worn suspension bushes may experience a lack of control in steering, as well as feeling a bumpier ride and less responsive braking. Not only does this affect the driving experience, but it can also be dangerous to the driver.
Suspension arms connect the car's suspension to the actual vehicle frame. They are connected to the frame through a component called bushings, while they attach to the suspension through the ball joint. This allows the vehicle to turn its wheel and pivot, connecting the tire to the car's suspension.
