Body and trim: Base, Grand Sport, ZR1

A Rear Lower Control Arm (RLCA) on a 2005 to 2013 Chevrolet Corvette is a suspension component that plays a crucial role in the vehicle's handling and stability. The Corvette in question is from the C6 generation, which was produced between 2005 and 2013.

The rear lower control arm is a metal arm that connects the rear wheel hub assembly to the vehicle's chassis or subframe. It is part of the multi-link suspension system that helps maintain proper wheel alignment and controls the up-and-down motion of the rear wheels as they encounter road irregularities.

The RLCA has two main attachment points: one to the chassis and one to the wheel hub assembly. The attachment points typically utilize rubber or polyurethane bushings to allow for a range of motion and to absorb vibrations and shocks from the road. In addition, the control arm works in conjunction with other suspension components, such as upper control arms, coil springs, and shock absorbers, to ensure a smooth and stable ride.

Over time, the bushings and other parts of the rear lower control arm can wear out, leading to excessive play, misalignment, and poor handling. When this happens, it's essential to replace the faulty control arm to maintain the vehicle's performance and safety.
