Control Arms

The control arm or A-arm is the link between the chassis and wheel hub in your Subaru. It lets your wheels go up and down while keeping them from moving forward and rearward. SubaruOnlineParts offers this suspension component for a variety of Subaru vehicles, including the B9 Tribeca, SVX, Baja, and Forester models.

Wheels on most vehicles have one or two A-arms on the front and rear suspension. These arms typically feature bushings on the frame side and a ball joint on the wheel side of the car. With both components, your wheels can flex and control their movement based on road conditions and steering.

A-arm bushings cushion your suspension system, controlling noise and vibration. You also get a softer ride over bumps, thanks to these suspension parts. The control arm bushings stay stiff and return to their original shape and position as they flex and move. Meanwhile, the ball joint of your car’s A-arm connects and holds your Subaru’s front suspension together. The joint allows limited motion in all directions.

Cars can have upper control arms, lower A-arms, or both. Most front-wheel-drive vehicles use lower control arms, while trucks and SUVs use both upper and lower arms. Trucks and SUVs have two pairs of lower and upper arms each, also known as a double-wishbone suspension. These arms can be made from stamped steel, cast iron, or cast aluminum.

Most A-arms wear out every 90,000 to 100,000 miles. These components are not immune to wear and tear. Once these suspension parts get damaged, you might experience unstable steering, uneven tire wear, or hear popping sounds as you drive. A worn control arm can affect your Subaru’s overall performance as well. Replacing your old suspension arms will help fix any of the issues above.
