Types

Depending on the car design, the components can have various types of fastening. The most common are:

• Ball joints. The optimal diameter of the ball joint head provides durability of the unit and its resistance to various kinds of loads. The insert, made of durable plastics is not apt to abrasion, which guarantees absence of free play during the whole operational lifetime of the part.
• Bushings. Elastic elements of metal-rubber mounts are characterized by resistance to cracking, deformation and delamination. They damp vibrations well and withstand high loads.

By a production material:

• Cast iron. They are heavy and resistant to deformation. They are rarely used.
• Steel. They have well-balanced characteristics and withstand shock loads well.
• Aluminium. They are light, ensure driving comfort and contribute to fuel economy.

By shape and number of mounting points, there are the following types of the parts:

• Straight. They can have 2–4 mounting points located in a row.
• Triangular. Its design features three mounting points. While the components themselves can have L, U, A or Y shape.
• H-shaped. They have four mounting points. They are quite rarely used. These arms are notable for high durability.
