What are Control Arms?

The control arms connect your Truck or SUV wheels to the steering rack. Control arms are designed to keep your tires attached to the vehiles frame while retaining proper rotation and vehicle handling. The control arms support the vertical motion of axles when your vehicle encounters different levels on the road and keeps your axle center from front-to-back. 

When vehicles are lifted, both tires begin to sink in toward the frame. Without a long enough lower control arm your tires could contact the frame during hard wheeling or off-roading. 

Your aftermarket control arm set will help extend axles during operation to ensure your wheels and navigation stay centered. The parts include:

  • Front control arms smooth pinion angles for improved traction
  • Rear control arms prevent the axle from moving back and forth
  • Lower control arms position the axle and channel energy from the wheels to the chassis, preventing axle wrapping

What an aftermarket arms control system provides:

  • Improves directional stability
  • Maintains a straight, perpendicular direction while driving
  • Durable materials with longer use life
  • Improved torque and traction
  • Improved hard wheeling performance 
  • Protects your vehicle's frame if a new lift is installed 

What is Caster Angle?

Your Vehicle's caster angle is a very sensitive setup that affects your vertical axis of steering. During a suspension alignment, the caster angle is calibrated so your tire self-center to improve straight-line navigation. A positive caster angle occurs when the slope of the angle is geared toward the top-rear of your vehicle. 

A positive caster angle occurs when the lower control arms are extended while the upper control arms are retracted. You’ll want your caster angle to extend from in front of where your tire will contact the road so the tires straighten out once steering is released. Decreasing your caster angle will result in tighter steering, but restricted wheel self-centering. A positive caster angle will improve stability at high speeds and improve cornering. 

What is Axle Wrapping/Binding

“Axle wrap” is defined as a change in your pinion angle. Axle wrap occurs when your axle wraps itself around the springs. This is a common phenomenon in leaf sprung vehicles and can occur at heavy wheeling or towing. When an axle wrap releases, it causes a phenomenon known as a “wheel hop.”

You’ll be able to feel a wheel hop by the sudden jolt in your vehicle during operation. A wheel hop could cause significant damage to your u-joints, springs, and, most importantly, your drivetrain. If your car is lifted above 3” then it’s ideal to have adjustable control arms that will keep your pinion angle in place, preventing axle wrap from occurring. 

Weaknesses in a vehicle's Stock Control Arms

An aggressive lift kit could interfere with your vehicle's drivetrain angles, causing damage. Therefore, many experts recommend purchasing an aftermarket control arm set for lifts above 3” to prevent axle wrap from occurring and improving torque. 

Even with an entry level lift kit advertised at 2.5”, the estimated lift height could actually be closer to 4” for a stock vehicle. With a stock control arm system, your caster angle could decrease and your alignment will slowly be tweaked. Aftermarket control arms are designed to keep these mechanics in place, while improving traction controls and torque. 

Here are the biggest cons of keeping your stock control arm system with an entry level lift kit:

  • OEM rubber bushings have a low use-life and reduced performance at high speeds
  • It could reduce track bar performance resulting in side-to-side momentum during sharp turns
  • Stock control arms could leave your axle at risk of binding or your vehicle at risk of wheel hops 
  • Raising your lift will result in decreased straight-line navigation performance

Choosing Aftermarket Control Arms for Your vehicle

Aftermarket control arms are a good way to augment your lift system and ensure your vehicle is running smoothly. Choose from short, adjustable control arms for lifts below 5” and longer arms for higher lift kits. You can find a control arm length that will fit any size lift and the possibilities are endless. 

Lifted vehicle owners can choose from either fixed or adjustable control arms. Most new vehicle feature fixed control arms that offer great strength and can be augmented with an adjustable control arms for precise angling. 

Some lift kits models utilize an adjustable control arm kit. Adjustable control arms allow you to center your axle with your wheel well and set your pinion angle. 

Aftermarket control arms are designed with tube steel and typically contain urethane or polyurethane bushings. They are also designed to bolt directly onto your vehicle and only require a few simple tools to do so.

Rubber vs. Polyurethane Bushings

Polyurethane bushings provide more reliability under harsh conditions than rubber end bushings. While polyurethane bushings still allow the suspension to bind under hard wheeling, it’s high-quality design provides better handling. Most of all, rubber bushings wear out very fast, which could have greater implications for your pinion-axle system than you realize. 

The Pros and Cons of Wrangler Aftermarket Control Arms

Pros

  • Prevents axle binding and wheel hops
  • Manufactured using strong, lightweight material for longer use-life and greater reliability
  • Improved torque, traction, and handling

Cons

  • Longer control arms become more expensive
  • Drivers could feel the vibration of vehicle going over bumps 

Benefits of Adjustable vs. Non-Adjustable Suspension

Adjustable control arms are necessary for rigs with higher ground clearances. Adjustable control arms allow drivers to properly calibrate caster and pinion angles, which improves performance and centers the axle. 

Non-adjustable control arms are available for higher suspension lifts, though without proper calibration or fit, they could prove to be counter intuitive. A non-adjustable control arm also can’t eliminate pinion angle deflections when lifted, which could cause wear and tear to your suspension system and drivetrain.

Control Arm Installation Difficulty

Installing a new control arm is simple and requires a few tools. As a disclaimer, installing an adjustable control arm on an entry-level lift kit may require professional assistance so you don’t accidentally compromise your springs.

With some wheel chocks, a wrench, tire jack, and basic tools you can replace your control arms in an hour. Removing the control arms may be the hardest part, but mainly any laymen with basic technical know how could accomplish it. Don't forget to measure your caster angle after completion using a camber/caster angle gauge.
