A control arm includes a first clamshell half and a second clamshell half, a ball joint housing, and a paddle portion. The paddle portion is formed as a single piece with the ball joint housing, has a first side and a second side, and is disposed between the first clamshell half and the second clamshell half. A first weld connection may join the first clamshell half to the first side of the paddle portion, and a second weld connection may join the second clamshell half to the second side of the paddle portion. Attachment of the first clamshell half to the first side of the paddle portion and attachment of the second clamshell half to the second side of the paddle portion may be characterized by the absence of a rivet and a bolt. |
