The Role of an Idler Arm in Vehicle Suspension Systems

Introduction: An idler arm is an integral component of a vehicle’s suspension system. It serves as the connecting link between each wheel hub assembly and its corresponding shock absorber unit, providing support during cornering maneuvers. To ensure that an idler arm is working properly, it must be regularly inspected for signs of wear-and-tear damage caused by friction over time. In addition, the idler arm should be replaced if necessary due to age or corrosion damage caused by exposure to water or other elements.
