Front Lower Control Arm Set for 2014-2020 Mazda 6 & 2013-2016 CX-5

In this review the reviewer looks at the TRQ front lower control arm with ball joint set and its fit for specific Mazda models; the bottom line is that this is a straightforward, vehicle-specific OE replacement kit for owners who need reliable suspension parts without a complicated installation. The reviewer recommends it primarily for DIY mechanics and independent shops because the kit includes both left and right lower control arms with preinstalled ball joints, which simplifies replacement and ensures a proper fit when matching the listed model years.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to match OE dimensions so the control arms install without modification on compatible 2014-2020 Mazda 6 and 2013-2016 CX-5 models.
• Complete Kit: The two-piece set includes both front driver and passenger lower control arms with ball joints, saving time sourcing matched components.
• OE Replacement: Built as an OE replacement suspension control arm kit to restore factory handling characteristics and maintain alignment tolerances.
• Reference Compatibility: Supplied with multiple OE and aftermarket reference numbers to help confirm fitment for specific VINs or existing part numbers.
• Value Proposition: Priced as a matched pair, the kit provides a cost-effective way to replace both sides and avoid mismatched wear or performance differences.

Who It's For

The kit is best suited for owners of 2014-2020 Mazda 6 or 2013-2016 CX-5 who need a direct OE-style replacement for worn lower control arms and ball joints, and for independent mechanics or competent DIYers who can perform front suspension work and alignment checks. The set is also appropriate for anyone replacing both sides at once to maintain balanced handling.

It is not aimed at drivers who need aftermarket performance tuning or custom geometry changes; those users should look for adjustable or performance control arms. Also, if a vehicle has nonstandard suspension upgrades or damage beyond the control arm, a full inspection and possibly different components will be required.
