What are the symptoms of a broken lower control arm?
1 Answers
The main symptoms of a damaged lower control arm include: 1. Reduced handling and comfort. 2. Decreased safety performance. 3. Abnormal noises from the vehicle. 4. Inaccurate alignment parameters. 5. The car tends to veer off course while driving. 6. Abnormal wear or damage to other components. 7. Affected or even failed steering. Below is more information about the lower control arm of a car: 1. The lower control arm is one of the suspension arms in a car's suspension system. Suspension systems that typically have a lower control arm are independent suspensions. Its main function is positioning, which determines the positional relationship between the wheel and the car body. 2. If the lower control arm is damaged, the wheel will detach from the car body. 3. If it is only bent or deformed, the positioning relationship between the wheel and the car body will be disrupted, causing all four-wheel alignment parameters to fail, leading to the vehicle veering off course or even the wheel rubbing against the chassis. 4. If the rubber bushing of the lower control arm ages or fails, it will cause metal collision noises when the lower control arm moves.
