Ram 1500 control arms use composite, not plastic

jalopnik.com

Ram 1500 trucks use composite upper control arms, not entirely plastic, integrated with steel and coated for corrosion resistance. These lightweight composite arms have been in reliable service for seven years since the 2019 model launch without any recalls, contrary to social media claims. Control arms guide wheel movement and connect wheels to the frame; upper control arms are not load-bearing, allowing for lighter materials like composites.
