Front Lower Control Arm with Ball Joints for 2010-2012 Lexus HS250h

In this review of the Front Lower Control Arm with Ball Joint Set the bottom line is practical: this 4 piece OE replacement kit is for owners of specific Toyota, Scion and Lexus models who need a direct fit suspension repair without reworking mounting points. The reviewer found the kit is straightforward to install and provides reliable steering stability when the ball joints and control arms are in good condition. Fitment matters here, so check the vehicle list before purchase to ensure correct compatibility for models like the 2012-17 Prius V or 2010-12 Lexus HS250h.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: The control arms are built to match OE mounting points so installation is faster and avoids fabrication or modification.
• Complete Kit: Includes two front lower control arms and two front lower ball joints, which simplifies sourcing parts for a full lower arm replacement.
• OE Reference Compatibility: Matches several OE reference numbers, making it easier to confirm fitment for specific model years and trims.
• Vehicle Coverage: Designed for a range of cars including Scion xB, tC, iM, Lexus HS250h, Prius V and Mirai, giving broad applicability across Toyota and Scion platforms.
• Aftermarket References Listed: Multiple aftermarket reference numbers are provided to aid cross-referencing with repair manuals or parts catalogs.

Who It's For

This kit is best for DIY mechanics and independent shops replacing worn lower control arms and ball joints on compatible 2008-2020 Toyota, Scion and Lexus models. It suits owners who want a direct replacement that restores steering response without custom fitting and who are comfortable with suspension-level repairs.

It is not ideal for someone requiring upgraded performance suspension or enhanced rust protection; buyers concerned about long-term corrosion resistance or who need premium ball-joint longevity should consider OEM parts or upgraded aftermarket alternatives.
