[0002] A control arm, also known as a suspension control arm or suspension arm, is a component used in automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles and other vehicles. A control arm is usually a curved metal member that connects the vehicle's body to the wheel suspension portion. They are located above the wheel and support and control the movement of the wheel by connecting to the wheel assembly and the vehicle's chassis. One of the main functions of the control arm is to ensure that the wheel remains in contact with the road during driving, while also bearing part of the load of the suspension system.

[0003] At present, there is a process in the production of control arms as shown in the attached Figure 3 As shown, the aluminum bracket 2 needs to be press-fitted onto the hydraulic bushing 101 of the main body 1, and the bracket opening 201 of the aluminum bracket 2 is oriented in a fixed direction after installation. The positioning structure in the existing press-fitting device is relatively simple, and each press-fitting device can only correspond to one aluminum bracket 2. When the width of the bracket opening 201 is adjusted, the press-fitting device cannot be used, and the existing press-fitting device lacks guide positioning between the aluminum bracket 2 and the hydraulic bushing 101, which easily leads to press-fitting errors. For this reason, a front control arm welding press-fitting positioning device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0019] In this embodiment, each of the auxiliary arms 8 is provided with two upper and lower symmetrical mounting grooves 9 at one end away from the side plate 7, and each of the mounting grooves 9 is provided with a removable gasket 10. Corresponding threaded holes 11 are provided on the gasket 10 and the mounting groove 9. The gasket 10 is connected to the auxiliary arm 8 through a connecting bolt 12. The two auxiliary arms 8 are respectively used for pressing the aluminum bracket 2 of the left and right control arms.

[0020] In this embodiment, an annular stop plate 15 is coaxially connected to the positioning sleeve 13 , and a guide rod 14 is coaxially connected to one end of the positioning sleeve 13 away from the fixed plate 6 .

[0021] In this embodiment, the end of the positioning sleeve 13 away from the fixing plate 6 is chamfered, and the end of each gasket 10 away from the side plate 7 is chamfered to facilitate the aluminum bracket 2 to be inserted into the positioning sleeve 13.
