Can Only the Rubber Bushing Be Replaced When the Control Arm Bushing Ages?
1 Answers
The rubber bushing of the control arm can be replaced separately when it ages. Below are the functions of the automotive control arm: 1. Support Function: The control arm serves as the guide and support for the suspension. Its deformation affects wheel alignment and reduces driving stability. If there is an issue with the front control arm, symptoms may include steering wheel wobbling, the vehicle pulling to one side when the steering wheel is released, and difficulty maintaining control at high speeds. If these symptoms are not significant, realigning the wheels may suffice without needing a replacement. 2. Connection Function: The control arm acts as the linkage between the vehicle frame and the wheels. Unlike bicycles, which have a rigid connection between the frame and wheels, leading to discomfort on rough roads, automotive control arms use a flexible connection with added shock absorption, significantly improving ride comfort and handling stability.
