Front Right Lower Control Arm with Ball Joint for 2013-2019 Santa Fe

In this review of the Front Right Lower Control Arm with Ball Joint the reviewer finds it best suited for owners of compatible Hyundai and Kia models who need a direct, OE-style replacement. The single biggest reason to consider this part is its vehicle-specific design that matches original equipment reference numbers, making it a straightforward swap for the front passenger side lower arm on 2013-2019 Hyundai Santa Fe variants and 2014-2015 Kia Sorento. Fitment checks in the listing are essential, but when the match is correct the control arm restores steering geometry and suspension function with minimal fuss.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement so it installs without modification when the model and VIN match the listed fitment.
• Integrated Ball Joint: The control arm includes a ball joint assembly which simplifies replacement by combining two components into one unit.
• Steel Construction: The steel control arm provides a durable mounting point that withstands road stresses and restores alignment angles.
• Bushings Included: Preinstalled bushings reduce additional parts and speed up installation for a cleaner, like-for-like repair.
• Multiple Reference Numbers: Cross-referenced OE and aftermarket numbers help verify compatibility and make it easier to match to the original part.
• Non-greaseable Ball Joint: The bolt-in ball joint is sealed, which reduces maintenance needs under normal conditions.

Who It's For

This part is aimed at DIY mechanics and independent shops replacing a worn or damaged front passenger side lower control arm on Hyundai Santa Fe models from 2013 through 2019 and compatible Kia Sorento years 2014-2015. Owners who prefer a direct OE-style replacement that matches original reference numbers will appreciate the straightforward swap and included bushings.

It is not intended for vehicles outside the listed fitment or for those seeking an adjustable performance arm; users who need an adjustable suspension component or a rebuildable greaseable ball joint should look for a different aftermarket option.
