Thrust arm versus Control Arm
Warranty company is refusing my claim for replacement of a upper and lower from arm and bearing because MB used the word Thrust.
i have coverage for the control arm but not thrust. Parts geek says the thrust arm is the same as control. The name is interchangeable.
Is there a difference? Should coverage be given ?

I'm guessing that the warranty company views the thrust arm as a wear item as it's usually the rubber bushings that wear out, which are definitely wear items. All you can do if fight for yourself and hope to meet in the middle somewhere.

I've got coverage for the upper and lower control arms, shafts and bushings, torsion bars, upper and lower ball joints, stabilizer bar, etc.
Only thrust arms that I see are on the rear
