CONTROL ARMS
Control Arms act as a pivot point for the tires by fixing steering components to the vehicle. There are two basic designs, the wishbone \(two points of attachments\) and the single pivot design. Ball joints can be pressed in or bolted on to the control arm.
What is a Control Arm
The wishbone style control arm is more stable in lateral movement than single pivot design. Single pivot control arm design is lighter and takes up less room than the wishbone design, but needs additional components to get the same lateral movement experience as the wishbone design.
