Control Arms for the Chevrolet Captiva
Parts-Mall supplies control arms for the Chevrolet Captiva across the 2007 to 2017 range, through 40+ branches in South Africa. Control arms locate the wheel hub while allowing the suspension to move through its travel, using bushes at the chassis and a ball joint at the hub.
Chevrolet Captiva years and engines covered

| 2007 to 2017 | Petrol and diesel variants according to generation |
Years and engines are a guide to the South African market. Exact fitment is confirmed by the supplying branch against your vehicle before dispatch.
What control arms do
The arm holds wheel geometry under braking and cornering. Its bushes allow a controlled pivot while the ball joint lets the hub steer and move vertically.
Signs your Chevrolet Captiva needs a new control arm
- A clunk over bumps or when braking
- Steering that wanders or pulls
- Uneven tyre wear
- Visible damage to the arm, bushes or ball joint boot
When to replace them
Not a scheduled item. Replace when the bushes or ball joint have play, the arm is bent, or corrosion compromises its strength.
What to confirm before ordering
- Your Chevrolet Captiva build year and engine
- Front or rear, and left or right side
- Whether bushes and ball joint are included
- The vehicle engine and drivetrain, where the arm differs by specification
- Wheel alignment should be booked after replacement
Chevrolet Captiva control arm questions
Which control arm fits my Chevrolet Captiva?
Parts-Mall supplies control arms for the Chevrolet Captiva across the 2007 to 2017 range. Because the same model name covers several engines and specifications, the exact part is confirmed by the supplying branch against your build year and engine before it is dispatched. Call your nearest branch with those details and they will confirm it while you are on the line.
What do I need to tell the branch to order a control arm for a Chevrolet Captiva?
The build year and the engine, plus front or rear, and left or right side. Those three details are enough for the counter to confirm the correct part in most cases.
Do control arms need to be replaced in pairs?
Not always, but inspect the matching side. The bushes and ball joints have experienced the same mileage, so replacing both can avoid a second alignment and repair soon after.
Is wheel alignment needed after replacing a control arm?
Yes. A control arm locates the wheel, so alignment should be checked and adjusted once the new arm is fitted.
