Control Arm & Bushing Service Explained
The control arm and bushings usually come packaged together from the parts supplier. Each control arm has two bushings that connect to your car's frame. The other end of the control arm holds a ball joint that connects to the wheel assembly. Over time, the bushings in the control arm suffer wear and tear. They wind up fitting loosely, which causes your front end to vibrate, rattle, make annoying sounds. A quick control arm and bushing replacement service will take care of the problem.
Why Your Vehicle May Require It
Your car has a control arm and bushings mounted to both front wheels. They always help to keep your car under control while steering. As the bushings wear out, your steering is affected. If you ignore it for too long, you might wind up with a suspension or chassis failure. That might cause a potential accident that could prove very costly. Preventive maintenance will cure the problem. We have factory OEM control arm and bushing assemblies at our VW parts center that will fit perfectly. So will the aftermarket parts we carry from the top brands.Â
