This suspension component locates the wheel, maintains proper alignment, and transfers loads between the wheel assembly and chassis while allowing controlled steering and suspension movement. Designed as a direct-fit replacement to restore factory geometry, it improves handling, reduces vibration, and helps prevent premature tire wear. Built for durability and dependable performance, this control arm is ideal for routine maintenance, collision repair, and full suspension restorations.
