Control Arms Frequently Asked Questions
What are control arms and what do they do?
Control arms, or suspension control arms, are suspension components that connect your vehicle’s frame to the steering knuckle or wheel hub assembly, allowing controlled up-and-down wheel movement while maintaining proper alignment. These components are critical for maintaining steering stability, ride quality, and tire wear patterns.
How do I know if my control arms need replacement?
Common signs of worn control arms include clunking or rattling noises over bumps, uneven or excessive tire wear, steering wheel vibration, and poor vehicle handling or alignment that won’t hold after adjustment. Detroit Axle’s control arm assemblies are engineered to restore your vehicle’s original suspension performance.
What’s included with Detroit Axle control arm assemblies?
Detroit Axle control arm assemblies come as complete units ready to install, typically including the control arm, bushings, and ball joint pre-assembled. This eliminates the need to press in bushings or ball joints separately, saving installation time and ensuring proper fitment.
Can I install control arms myself or do I need a mechanic?
Control arm replacement requires mechanical knowledge, proper tools including a jack and jack stands, and in most cases an alignment after installation. Installing them yourself DIY for the first time is fairly difficult and requires specific tools you likely don’t have.

What if I order the wrong control arms?
Detroit Axle has a return policy to handle incorrect orders, though ordering the wrong part can delay your repair. To avoid compatibility issues, always verify your vehicle’s complete Year/Make/Model information in the “Compatible Vehicles” section before placing your order, and double-check that the control arm shown matches your vehicle’s configuration.
