Product Description
This Arrowhead Control Arm LH is an essential component of your Mercedes-Benz's steering, suspension, and axle system. Designed for the left-hand (LH) side, it plays a critical role in maintaining proper wheel alignment and ensuring a smooth, controlled ride. The control arm connects your vehicle's chassis to the wheel hub, allowing for up-and-down movement while keeping the wheel in the correct position during steering and suspension travel.
This part is suitable for selected Mercedes-Benz models, including A-Class and B-Class (2011-2018), as well as CLA and GLA models from 2013 onwards. Always confirm your specific model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure correct fitment before ordering.
Common symptoms of a worn or failing control arm include uneven tyre wear, clunking noises when driving over bumps, poor handling, wandering steering, and excessive vibration through the steering wheel. You may also notice misalignment or instability, especially during braking or cornering.
If you experience any of these issues, it is important to inspect and replace the control arm promptly. Replacing a faulty control arm restores proper suspension geometry, improves handling, and enhances overall safety on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of worn brake pads or brake components?
Common signs may include squealing or grinding noises when braking, reduced stopping ability, a soft brake pedal, vibration under braking, or the brake warning light on your dashboard. Because brakes are safety-critical, diagnosis and inspection by a qualified mechanic is recommended before replacement.
Can I replace only one side of the brakes?
Brake pads and discs are normally replaced as an axle set (both sides at the same time) to maintain balanced, even braking. Replacing only one side can cause the vehicle to pull when braking. Consult a qualified mechanic for guidance.
