Jeep Cherokee Control Arms, Suspension Rods & Parts

A control arm is a part of the independent suspension system designed for restricting the motion of the wheel in the transverse plane. Control arms are equivalents to track rods in live axles – they have to make sure that the wheels don’t shift right or left. In the majority of suspension designs, control arms form the lower link. Sometimes, they can be used as upper links with a lower wishbone. In such a case, the additional upper radius rod needs to be included. But all control arm designs are susceptible to similar problems caused by mechanical wear.

As the wheel hits an obstacle, the energy of impact is transmitted to the chassis through each of the links. It causes a certain amount of wear, mostly affecting mounts. The resultant play can be fixed only by the replacement. The suspension links of your Jeep Cherokee are tough and can withstand a lot of abuse. However, the service life of these components is still limited.
