#1- Lack of maintenance
The control arm is one of the important components of the car suspension system. When we regularly maintain the car, don't forget to regularly check and maintain the condition of the control arm, because it is a consumable part. If regular inspection and maintenance are ignored, over time, the ball joint may gradually loosen or the iron sleeve may be damaged, which may be one of the reasons for the control arm to break.
#2- Quality issues
If low-quality or inferior control arms are unfortunately used, it will increase the risk of the control arms being prone to breakage or deformation during use. These situations may be caused by some defects in the manufacturing process, such as improper installation of iron sleeves or ball heads, or the use of low-quality materials.
#3- Road conditions
When driving on the road, if the road conditions are very severe, such as bumps, large potholes, or impacts, it will cause a significant burden on the control arm. Continuing to drive on these road conditions can accelerate and cause the control arm to bend, deform, or break.
#4- Overuse
When excessive or improper driving exceeds the pressure and load limits of the control arm design, it may lead to control arm fatigue or damage. These situations usually occur during prolonged high-speed driving, severe and extreme driving behaviors, such as sudden braking, rapid acceleration, or excessive load.
#5- Car accident
When a car experiences a powerful impact or major accident, the control arm of the suspension system breaks and is damaged due to external forces hitting and twisting. If an accident unfortunately occurs, even if it is just a small collision, it is recommended to check the condition of the control arm and whether it needs to be replaced to ensure driving safety.
