The lower control arm assembly includes the control arm, two bushings, and a ball joint. The lower control arm is made of forged steel and has a ball joint hole at the outer end.
At the inner end of the lever there are two bushing holders welded to the lever. A sleeve is pressed into each holder. The rear bushing is a hydraulic bushing. It provides a gradual increase in rigidity with increasing wheel deflection. The bushings are located between the lugs on the chassis and are fastened with bolts and self-locking nuts through metal inserts in the center of the bushings. There is also an eccentric washer under the self-locking nut of the front hub. Changing the position of the eccentric washer between the two lugs on the chassis bracket allows you to adjust the camber angle of the front wheels. There is also an eccentric washer under the self-locking rear hub nut. Changing the position of the eccentric washer between the two lugs on the chassis bracket allows you to adjust the angle of the longitudinal inclination of the axis of rotation of the front wheels.
The jack bracket on the lower control arm is only present on vehicles with spring suspension.
The central hole of the lever is designed to mount the lower bushing of the shock absorber module. To attach the shock absorber, a long bolt with a self-locking nut is used, passing through the holes in the arm.
The ball joint is pressed into the lower control arm. The ball joint is fixedly seated in a hole that prevents it from moving. The retaining ring holds the ball joint in the hole.
