Saturn LS Control Arm

The Control Arm in Saturn LS vehicles; it is actually a part of suspension system that connects the frame of the vehicle to the wheels to enable the movement of the suspension system. It enables the wheels to react to irregularities on the road by turning and this is important in as far as aligning the wheels are concerned in order to guarantee safety. Control arms generally, have bushing for mounting on the frame and ball joint for coupling with the wheel assembly. Since the earliest models of Saturn LS vehicles, the ones utilized for suspension have been control arms, produced from stamped steel but more recent models may come equipped with state of the art cast iron or aluminum. Stamped steel arms are long lasting but they rust and that weakens the arm in use. On the other hand, there are cast options which provide the necessary strength and as the same time little weight. High performance control arms are also manufactured for the purpose of handling more stress and supporting modications including broader wheels or changed heights for better and firmer control.

Each OEM Saturn LS Control Arm we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
