Genesis G70 Control Arms

Control arms play a pivotal role in the overall handling and safety of your G70. They help in maintaining the alignment of the wheels, ensuring that the tires have the correct angle in relation to the road. This alignment is crucial for tire wear, steering precision, and overall vehicle stability. Additionally, control arms help in absorbing shocks and vibrations from the road, contributing to a smoother ride.

Types of Control Arms

• Upper Control Arms: These are found in double wishbone suspension setups and work in tandem with the lower control arms. They help in maintaining proper camber angle during suspension travel, ensuring that the tires remain in contact with the road for optimal grip.
• Lower Control Arms: Most vehicles, especially those with MacPherson strut suspensions, rely primarily on lower control arms. These components are responsible for guiding the wheels in their vertical movement, absorbing shocks, and contributing to the overall stability and comfort of the ride.
