As people’s common knowledge, control arm is an important part of car suspension system. In this case, if your control arm is broken, your car’s work would be highly affected. Based on that, there is a good idea to check your control arm frequently and replace it if necessary. If you agree with that, there is important to you to know what symptoms’ occurrence shows your control arm is bad. In this article, I would like to list three typical bad symptoms of control arm to you:
1. POPPING NOISE
If you hear a popping noise when you drive over an irregularitive road, please be careful, it is one of the earliest symptoms of your control arm is failing. When you try to change the speed of your car, you may also that noise. However, going over bumps at slower speeds, like speed bumps is usually an indicator of your ball joint is popping, might be your bushings are worn.
2. STEERING IS UNSTABLE
Unstable steering is another important symptom that can reflect the problem of control arm. This is very common in failing bushings. The alignment of the steering wanders causes the car to turn left or right when you run over a bump in the road. This problem would be more obvious while your car is driving on an uneven surface or unstable terrain. It might also indicate that your idler arm or steering tie rods are failing; therefore, it important to check the steering components when you inspect your car.
Consistent oscillation throughout the car might also be an indicator that the control arm’s failing, but not only to this. To consider about the control arm is the link between the suspension and the frame, other problems such as unbalanced tires, or failing steering components will cause a worse situation if your control arms also have weak components.
3. UNEVEN TIRE WEAR
Uneven tire wear also is a potential symptom of a failing control arm, the reason of that is this is an indicator of alignment issues. With the bushing of control arm is wearing, it might cause the car out of alignment, and the outer or inner edges of the tire also will be worn. Even though it usually just is an indicator of proper alignment, but it also can be caused due to worn of bushings. Alignment shops are professional to diagnose this. You can ask them for help if you are unable judge it.
All in all, if you are noticing any of the above symptoms, you need to consider about check the control arm of your car as soon as possible. Because it is not only to keep your car keep a good condition, but also is highly related to your personal safety. On the other hand, it is important to you to replace a good quality part while you repair your car, it would save a lot of unnecessary costs for you.
