Front Right Upper Control Arm with Ball Joint for Jaguar S-Type XF XFR

Our review of this Front Right Upper Control Arm with Ball Joint looks at whether it is a practical OE replacement for Jaguar owners. For drivers of 2003-2015 Jaguar S-Type, XF, XFR and XFR-S models seeking a direct-fit, aftermarket replacement, the single biggest reason to buy is its vehicle-specific fitment and complete control arm plus ball joint assembly, which simplifies repair compared with sourcing separate parts. The review focuses on fit, ease of installation, and the tradeoff between cost and long-term durability.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to match the OEM mounting points so installation is straightforward for a like-for-like replacement.
• Complete Assembly: Comes as a control arm with an integrated ball joint so there is no need to press out or install a separate joint.
• Aluminum Construction: The aluminum control arm reduces unsprung weight while maintaining the structural form required for proper suspension geometry.
• Vehicle-Specific Fitment: Fitment covers a wide range of Jaguar S-Type, XF, XFR and XFR-S model years, reducing the risk of ordering the wrong part when the listing is checked.
• Aftermarket Reference Numbers: Multiple reference numbers are provided for cross-checking against original or other aftermarket parts to confirm compatibility.

Who It's For

This part is aimed at Jaguar owners and independent mechanics who need a cost-effective OE-style replacement for the front passenger side upper control arm and ball joint on S-Type, XF, XFR and XFR-S vehicles from the model years listed. It is particularly useful when a complete assembly is preferred to reduce labor time and the need for special press tools.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers seeking an upgraded heavy-duty or performance variant, or owners who prioritize factory-original metallurgy and possibly greater long-term durability over value; some customers report the part is lighter than original, so buyers wanting a heavy OEM feel may prefer an OEM unit.
