Control arms, also called A-arms, are critical parts of your vehicle’s suspension system. They connect the wheel hub and steering knuckle to the vehicle’s body. A-arms enable your Chevy’s wheels to move up and down while keeping them aligned, making your vehicle stable.

Identifying a Bad Control Arm in Your Chevy

If your Chevy has a failing upper or lower control arm, then the handling and overall safety of your vehicle can be impacted. Here are common signs of a bad control arm:

Unusual clunking, creaking, or popping sounds when you go over bumps or when braking

Excessive steering wheel vibrations especially at high speeds

Uneven or accelerated tire wear

Imprecise steering, excessive body roll when cornering, or general driving instability

Can You Drive With a Broken Control Arm?

While not all control arm problems are the same, some failures can cause terrible road incidents. A complete ball joint failure for example, can cause a steering knuckle disconnection, resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle. Failing to replace a damaged control arm can also lead to more expensive repairs to your vehicle’s suspension system.
