Control Arms, Ball Joints & Assemblies
Control arms and ball joints: the key to precise vehicle handling
Control arms and ball joints are the basic elements of the suspension system, which are responsible for the stability, comfort and precision of the vehicle's handling. Thanks to them, the car can move smoothly over uneven surfaces, and the driver maintains full control over the vehicle even in difficult road conditions. In the Global Parts automotive store you will find a wide selection of used car parts , including wishbones and ball joints, fitted to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and others.
What role do control arms and ball joints play?
Control arms and ball joints are components that together ensure the proper operation of the suspension system. Their key functions are:
- Control arms – They are the connection between the wheel and the vehicle body. They are responsible for stability and vibration damping when driving on uneven surfaces.
- Ball joints – Provide mobility to the suspension, allowing the wheels to turn in different directions, which is essential for precise turning.
Together, the wishbones and ball joints act as a bridge between the wheels and the body, enabling a stable and safe ride.
Why is it worth taking care of wishbones and ball joints?
Worn or damaged wishbones and ball joints can lead to handling problems and reduce driving safety. Typical symptoms of failure include:
- Suspension noises – Knocking noises when driving over bumps may indicate worn ball joints or wishbones.
- Difficulty steering – Faulty suspension components can cause the vehicle to become unstable or respond slowly to steering input.
- Uneven tire wear – Damaged control arms or ball joints can affect wheel alignment, leading to faster tire wear.
At Global Parts we offer original used control arms and ball joints that have been thoroughly tested for durability and reliability.
