Does the deformation of the rear lower control arm affect its support force?

[DeJosephine]

Deformation of the rear lower control arm does affect its support force. Function of the lower control arm: The lower control arm, one of the suspension arms in a vehicle, primarily supports the body and shock absorbers, while also buffering vibrations during driving. The shock absorber provides excellent auxiliary support to the lower suspension. Together with the shock absorber and spring, it forms a complete suspension system. The lower control arm is responsible for bearing weight and steering, and is equipped with rubber bushings for fixation and connection to the shock absorber. Worn-out bushings can cause abnormal noises during driving, reduced shock absorption, and heavy steering. Severe cases may lead to control arm fracture, resulting in vehicle loss of control and accidents! It is advisable to replace damaged parts promptly. Symptoms of a damaged lower control arm: Reduced handling and comfort, decreased safety performance, abnormal noises, inaccurate alignment parameters, vehicle pulling to one side, and wear or damage to other components (such as tire wear). Steering may also be affected or even fail.
