Front Left Upper Control Arm with Ball Joint - Drivers Side Fit

In this review the focus is on the Front Left Upper Control Arm with Ball Joint for the driver side, a direct-fit replacement designed for several Chrysler and Dodge RWD models. The bottom line: this part is for owners who need an OE-style suspension arm that matches factory geometry and makes installation straightforward. Customers praise the fit and overall value for money, and this review evaluates build quality, compatibility, and any recurring concerns so a buyer can decide if it is the right replacement for their vehicle.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement so it installs without modification on compatible 2005-2022 Chrysler 300 and similar models.
• Integrated Ball Joint Assembly: Comes with the ball joint preinstalled to simplify the swap and reduce labor time compared with separate components.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Listing includes detailed check fitment information so buyers can confirm compatibility with various Charger and Challenger model years.
• Aftermarket Reference Coverage: Matches multiple reference numbers, which helps identify fitment when cross-referencing original part numbers.
• Suspension Geometry: OE-style control arm preserves factory suspension alignment when installed correctly, helping maintain handling characteristics.

Who It's For

This part is best for owners of rear-wheel-drive Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Challenger models from the covered year ranges who need an upper front control arm replacement that fits like the original. It suits DIY mechanics and independent shops who prefer a ready-to-install assembly with the ball joint included and who value matching factory fitment.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of all-wheel-drive variants or model years outside the stated fitment range, and buyers who specifically want a rebuilt OEM unit rather than an aftermarket OE-style replacement. If you need a performance-tuned or adjustable control arm, this standard direct-fit replacement is not intended for that use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Direct-fit design reduces installation time and aligns with factory suspension geometry.
• The integrated ball joint arrives preassembled, simplifying replacement and reducing parts sourcing.
• Customers report the part matches original components closely and offers solid perceived quality and value.

Cons

• Some buyers have reported issues with the ball joint, so inspection at installation is advised.
