Front Steering & Suspension 8-Piece Kit for 2008-09 Taurus/Sable

Our review of the TRQ 8-piece front steering and suspension kit explains who should consider this direct-fit OE replacement and why it is worth a look. Intended for owners of 2008-2009 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable front wheel drive models, this kit replaces essential front steering and suspension components in one purchase. The single biggest reason to buy is convenience: it bundles control arms with ball joints, inner and outer tie rods, and sway bar links in an application-specific kit that aims to restore handling and road-feel without modification.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement so parts install without modification for compatible 2008-09 Taurus and Sable front wheel drive models.
• Complete 8-Piece Kit: Includes two lower control arms with ball joints, two inner tie rods, two outer tie rods and two sway bar links for a full front-end refresh in one purchase.
• OE Reference Numbers: Supplied with OE and aftermarket reference numbers so installers can verify fitment against factory parts.
• Anti-Corrosion Coated: Enhanced surface protection helps components resist corrosion and extend service life in typical driving conditions.
• Kitted for Restored Performance: Replacing multiple wear items together helps return original steering feel and handling consistency.
• Application Specific Design: Parts are vehicle specific and listed to reduce the chance of ordering errors when the fitment is confirmed.

Who It's For

This kit is best for DIY mechanics and independent shops working on 2008-2009 Ford Taurus or Mercury Sable front wheel drive vehicles that need multiple front steering and suspension components replaced at once. It suits owners who prefer buying a matched set to avoid piecemeal repairs and to restore stable steering and handling.

It is less appropriate for drivers who only need a single item replaced and want an individual component, or for owners of other model years or drivetrains; check the vehicle specific fitment information before purchasing. Also, those seeking fully pre-greased components may prefer alternative products, since these parts are not pre-greased.
