Apr 02, 2025Morgane GR

Is your European luxury vehicle showing signs of uneven tire wear or making clunking noises when driving through Montreal's notorious potholes? Your car's control arms might need attention. At Ghost Autosport in Mirabel, Quebec, we specialize in European vehicle suspension maintenance, particularly for Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche models.

Understanding Control Arms: The Backbone of Your Suspension

Control arms (also known as 'bras de suspension' in Quebec) are crucial suspension components that connect your vehicle's frame to the steering knuckles. These precision-engineered parts ensure:

- Stable wheel alignment

- Smooth ride quality

- Precise handling characteristics

- Proper suspension geometry

Signs You Need Control Arm Replacement

1. Irregular tire wear patterns

2. Steering wheel vibration

3. Vehicle pulling to one side

4. Clunking noises over speed bumps

5. Loose or wandering steering

Professional Control Arm Replacement Process

Our certified European vehicle technicians follow manufacturer-specific procedures using OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts. Our comprehensive control arm replacement service includes:

- Complete suspension inspection

- Alignment check using advanced diagnostic equipment

- Installation of high-quality control arm bushings

- Four-wheel alignment after replacement

- Road testing to ensure optimal performance

Why Choose Professional Installation?

While DIY enthusiasts might be tempted to replace control arms themselves, modern European vehicles require specialized tools and expertise. Our technicians use manufacturer-specific diagnostic tools like ODIS for Audi/VW and ISTA+ for BMW to ensure precise calibration.

Maintenance Tips for Quebec Drivers

Given Quebec's unique climate challenges, we recommend:

- Annual suspension inspections

- Regular alignment checks, especially after winter

- Prompt investigation of any unusual noises

- Seasonal inspection of rubber bushings and ball joints
