What are the impacts of a control arm failure?

04-14,2025

Failure of the control arm will directly affect the safety, controllability, comfort of the vehicle and the life of the associated components. The specific impacts are as follows:

1. Decreased controllability

Failure of the control arm may lead to unstable direction and deviation of the vehicle from the running track during driving, affecting driving comfort and safety.

2. Instability of suspension system

Severe wear on the ball joint or bushing of the control arm may cause the suspension system to fail and the vehicle to be more unstable when driving on bumpy roads.

3. Uneven tire wear

Failure of the control arm may cause wheel position to shift, resulting in uneven tire wear, reduced tire life, and increased replacement costs.

4. Increased braking distance

The failure of the suspension system will affect the braking effect, make it more difficult for the vehicle to keep stable when braking, and increase the braking distance.

5. Influence on other parts

Critical failure of the control arm may also place additional burden on other components of the suspension system, resulting in further damage.

6. Reduced driving comfort

Failure of the control arm will cause the vehicle to experience more vibration and noise during driving, reducing ride comfort.
