Product Description
The common control arms in suspension system are transverse single control arm and longitudinal pull rod control arm. The following are the differences between them:
Structure: The control arm usually presents a rod-like structure connected with the wheel suspension system, with one end connected with the joint or ball head of the wheel suspension system and the other end connected with the body structure. The control arm of the longitudinal tie rod presents a rod-like structure connected with the wheel suspension system, one end of which is connected with the joint or ball head of the wheel suspension system, and the other end is connected with the car body structure, and forms an angle with the wheel suspension system.
Function: The main function of the lateral single control arm is to provide lateral stability. By connecting the wheel suspension system and the body structure, the wheel roll and the swing of the suspension system are prevented, thus improving the handling and stability of the vehicle.
Suspension geometry: The suspension geometry of the lateral single control arm is usually simple, and the wheels are relatively upright during the suspension stroke. However, the suspension geometry of the longitudinal tie rod control arm is relatively complicated, and the wheel will have a certain inclination angle during the suspension stroke. This inclination angle can provide better pavement adaptability and flexibility of suspension adjustment.
Adjustability: Some high-performance vehicles have adjustable lateral single control arm and longitudinal pull rod control arm, which can be adjusted according to the driver's demand and the change of road conditions. This adjustability can provide more flexible suspension adjustment to adapt to different driving styles and road conditions.
