Strut Type Suspension or MacPherson Strut Suspension

A MacPherson strut suspension is an independent front suspension found in most cars. In the MacPherson strut suspension, there is only a single, lower control arm, at each wheel and the strut becomes the upper control arm, which supports most of the weight. This type of control arm can be found in both front and rear suspensions, but usually at the front. Due to the compact design, low weight and relatively cheap manufacture cost, you generally see a strut type suspension in modern, inexpensive cars.

What Are Control Arms and What Do They Do?

A control arm, also known as an A-arm (or control link in the railway industry), links the vehicle chassis and suspension hub that carries the wheel. They are the metal components you can see that connect the vehicle body to the wheel assembly in automotive vehicles.

Control arms are a vital component of a vehicle’s suspension system, allowing tyres to move in line with the vehicle’s body. They are made up of three main parts: bushing, body and ball joint. The control arm body connects to the vehicle frame via the bushings (usually rubber bushings) and connects to the wheel side of the vehicle suspension with a ball joint. In combination, these components allow smooth, controlled movement when pivoting, turning and driving on the road, by allowing the wheels to move up and down while remaining in contact with the ground for stability. Control arms also reduce friction and vibration when steering.

Automotive vehicles usually have between two and four control arms, depending on the vehicle suspension. However, most modern cars only have control arms in the front wheel suspension. Larger or heavy-duty vehicles like trucks may have control arms in the rear axle.

Having a correctly working control arm and suspension system keeps your tyres in place when you hit a bump or pothole in the road, which is important for your safety on the road. If your steering wheel is vibrating or feels hard to control, or you experience any loud banging, clunking noises when driving over bumps, this could be a signal that you need to replace your control arm assembly.
