Toyota MR2 Control Arm
The Toyota MR2 Control Arm connects your car's frame to the wheel assembly. This allows the wheel to move up and down as the road changes while keeping the suspension in the proper geometry. The bushings at its chassis end allow the Control Arm to pivot, while bushings or a ball joint connect the Control Arm to the knuckle for controlling wheel position and taking suspension loads. In the MR2 suspension layout, a Control Arm is a lower link in the suspension design, with further links and rods preventing undesired wheel forward or backward movement. In addition, the component has mounting points for the shocks, springs, and sway bars so those loads facilitate the Control Arm to the frame. The basic execution of this component is constructed from stamped steel, but some designs call for either cast iron or cast aluminum material in order to balance strength and weight. The Toyota MR2 piece, while strong, can rust, bend, or distort from impact. It can need replacement when bushings or ball joints wear out. The suspension of the Toyota MR2 is responsive and stable throughout the working range. This judicious application of Control Arm geometry is applied to ensure predictable handling on the sports model.

Toyota MR2 Control Arm Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install the rear control arm and Ball Joint on Toyota MR2?A:To remove the control arm first undo the wheel lugs but do not take the nuts off completely, then find a comfortable working position on the side of the vehicle and and lift the rear of the vehicle using the jack and place it on the jackstands. Next to do is strip off the tire and wheel assembly, after that, take off the cotter pin along with the nut from the balljoint stud. To remove the lower arm abut from the ball joint, employ the two-jaw puller, then after doing this, take out the strut rod nut and its retainer from the lower arm. Next to do this, loosen the pivot bolt securing the lower arm to the body of the car and then pull on the lower arm to take it off. To install the assembly, initially, fix the strut rod to the lower arm and the lower arm to the body with the nuts and bolts which are then tightened to the recommended torque value and new cotter pin installed at the lower arm to the ball joint nut. Tighten the strut rod to the lower arm and tighten the arm to the body to the torque indicated, then fit the tire and wheel and using a jerk tighten the nuts loosely before using the spring jack lowering the vehicle and tightening the nuts. On the actual assembly of the suspension, it is recommended to align the wheels afterwards. Regarding balljoint removal and installation, when the control arm has been removed, the two bolts fastening the balljoint to the carrier of the rear axle must be undone in order to disconnect the balljoint and the carrier. When fitting the balljoint to the car, the procedure is the reverse, but for these nuts tighten them till you get the right torque recommended.
