Top-quality control arms and ball joints – stability and driving precision
Maximum suspension control and cornering confidence
Control arms and ball joints are essential components of the suspension system, responsible for stability, comfort, and precise handling. They allow the car to roll smoothly over bumps, and the driver maintains full control of the vehicle even in challenging road conditions. At Global Parts, you'll find a wide selection of used car parts. , including wishbones and ball joints, fitted to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and others.
What exactly is a control arm and how does it work?
The control arm is the element connecting the wheel to the body, allowing it to move vertically while maintaining its proper geometric position. In practice, this means that even over large road irregularities, the wheel remains in constant contact with the ground. In models such as the Mercedes W203, BMW E60 or Volkswagen Passat B7, both lower, upper and transverse wishbones are used, depending on the suspension design (e.g. multi-link or McPherson). Mini Cooper control arm It has a shorter design and is often made of aluminum, which reduces unsprung mass and improves ride comfort. Most modern control arms are equipped with metal-rubber bushings that absorb vibrations, and ball joints (joints) that control rotational movement.
What role do control arms and ball joints play?
Control arms and ball joints are components that work together to ensure the proper operation of the suspension system. Their key functions include:
- Control arms – These form the connection between the wheel and the vehicle body. They are responsible for stability and vibration damping when driving on uneven surfaces.
- Ball joints – Provide suspension mobility, allowing the wheels to rotate in different directions, which is essential for precise steering. Together, the control arms and ball joints act as a bridge between the wheels and the body, enabling stable and safe driving.
Types and technical parameters of control arms
Control arms can be divided according to their location and construction:
| Rocker arm type | Application | Characteristic |
|---|---|---|
| Lower control arm | Front or rear suspension | Carries the heaviest loads; often steel or aluminum; crucial for stability and vibration damping. |
| Upper control arm | In multi-link suspension | Stabilizes the vertical position of the wheel; often used in multi-link suspensions. |
| Transverse wishbone | Rear independent system | It is responsible for maintaining the driving line and even tire wear; it is sometimes used in multi-link assemblies. |
Premium cars like the BMW E60 and Mercedes W203 use structures made of aluminum or high-strength steel . Their length can range from 250 to 450 mm, and the ball joint diameter is approximately 20–22 mm, which directly impacts the strength of the entire suspension.
Why is it worth taking care of control arms and ball joints?
Worn or damaged control arms and ball joints can lead to handling problems and reduce driving safety. Typical symptoms include:
- Suspension noises – Knocking noises when driving over bumps may indicate worn ball joints or wishbones.
- Difficulty steering – Faulty suspension components can cause the vehicle to become unstable or respond to steering movements with a delay.
- Uneven tire wear – Damaged control arms or ball joints can affect wheel alignment, leading to faster tire wear. At Global Parts, we offer original used control arms and ball joints that have been thoroughly tested for durability and reliability.
Symptoms and diagnosis of worn control arms
To detect worn control arms, it's worth paying attention to several symptoms: the car pulling to one side, uneven braking force distribution, or "floating" on straight stretches of road. Suspension diagnostics should include measuring ball joint play and assessing the condition of the bushings. In vehicles like the Passat B7 or Mini Cooper R56, complete control arm assemblies are often replaced to maintain full suspension symmetry and avoid differences in elasticity.
How to choose the right control arms and ball joints?
When choosing control arms and ball joints, there are several key aspects to consider:
- Vehicle-specific fit – Every suspension system has its own specific technical requirements. At Global Parts, you'll find control arms and ball joints perfectly matched to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini, and more.
- Technical Condition – Ensure parts are free from corrosion, cracks and looseness that may affect their performance.
- Suspension type – Select the appropriate control arms and joints depending on the suspension type, e.g. independent or dependent.
Compatibility and installation
Control arms and ball joints are designed for specific engine and body versions. For example, the rear control arm of a BMW E60 may have different mounting options than the E61 (Touring) version. Therefore, it's best to use the VIN or OEM number when selecting a control arm – this ensures full compatibility and proper suspension geometry. Installing a new control arm requires the appropriate tightening torque (usually 80–120 Nm depending on the model), which impacts the component's durability and operational safety.
Why choose used control arms and ball joints?
Used car parts , such as control arms and ball joints, are an economical solution that allows you to save money while maintaining high quality. By choosing used control arms and ball joints, you gain:
- Lower costs – Used components are much cheaper than new ones, but offer equally high quality.
- Ecology – You support recycling and reduce the amount of automotive waste.
- A wide range – In our store you will find control arms and ball joints for the most popular car brands.
Durability and parameters of used control arms
Well-maintained aluminum control arms can last for 150,000–200,000 km if the bushings and joints remain in good condition. For example, the front control arms for the Passat B7 are known for their high wear resistance when properly installed and aligned. In the case of BMWs and Mercedes, replacing a single control arm often restores the vehicle's original handling characteristics without the need for a costly rebuild of the entire suspension.
How to take care of control arms and ball joints?
To ensure that your wishbones and ball joints function reliably for a long time, it is important to follow a few rules:
- Check the condition of your suspension regularly during inspections, especially if your vehicle is often driven on uneven roads.
- Replace damaged suspension components in time to avoid further damage to other parts of the system.
- Maintain proper wheel alignment and suspension setup to prevent excessive wear. If you need to replace your wishbones or ball joints, you'll find the right used car parts at Global Parts. that will restore your vehicle to full working order.

| What is the difference between a ball joint and a control arm pin? | A ball joint is a movable ball-and-socket joint that allows the wheel to rotate and steer. The pin is part of it, acting as the axis of rotation. |
| How long does it take to replace a car's control arm? | Depending on the suspension design, replacing one control arm takes an average of 30–90 minutes . |
| Can only one control arm be replaced? | Yes, although it is recommended to replace them in pairs to maintain equal flexibility and suspension geometry on both sides of the axle. |
| What are the symptoms of control arm damage? | The most common symptoms include knocking when braking, the car "floating" on the road and uneven tire wear. |
| Does the control arm fit between different BMW or Mercedes models? | Not always – despite their similar appearance, the length, mounting angle and bushing diameter may differ between models (e.g. BMW E60 vs. E61 ). |
