I think they do, because my ride is quire rough and rear control arm replacement was recommended. The roughness, combined with squeaking from the rear led to this diagnosis. Hope this helps.

do bad rear control arms affect the ride in any way? i've noticed the ride is much harsher lately, particularly over bumps. doesn't absorb them as well and it feels like the rear of the car is not as composed during hard turns...

and of course, i still have squeaks (which others have said can be attributed to either the rear control arms or parking brake grommet)
