Chevy Colorado Control Arms, Suspension Rods & Parts

Control arms, also known as A-arms, are designed as hinged suspension links which interconnect the chassis and the wheel hubs while holding the wheels of your Chevy Colorado in an upright position. The inner control arms are usually attached using rubber bushings which allow for them a certain degree of motion, with the movements being controlled by specifically-designed radius rods. Control arms are engineered to act as the lower link of the suspension, with some designs utilizing them as their upper links. Most of the time, control arms are used on MacPherson strut suspensions types.

In these types of suspension systems, control arms are placed perpendicular to the auto’s axis, with anti-roll bars acting in place of the radius rod. This design utilizes ball joints to offer better longitudinal control. Control arms are engineered to carry suspension loads when the auto is being driven while transferring motion to springs or struts. Choosing the necessary Chevy Colorado control arms & components is a fairly simple procedure, with these arms providing the necessary traction for your pickup truck and enhancing its handling performance. Control arms offered in our store are either cast or machined from out of durable proprietary alloys, so you can be sure to get only high-quality products.
