Front Right Upper Control Arm with Ball Joint for Lexus GX460

In this review the TRQ Front Right Upper Control Arm with Ball Joint is evaluated for drivers who need a direct OE replacement for the passenger side upper suspension on compatible Lexus GX460, GX470, Toyota 4Runner and FJ Cruiser models. The bottom line: it is a straightforward, vehicle-specific replacement that matches factory fitment and restores proper suspension geometry, making it a sensible choice for DIY installers and mechanics who want an affordable, ready-to-install assembly backed by multiple OE reference numbers and clear fitment notes.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to match the original mounting points so installation usually requires no frame modification or extra fabrication.
• OE Replacement Assembly: Includes the control arm and press-in ball joint to replace worn components and restore steering stability and alignment.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Fitment covers 2003-23 Toyota 4Runner, 2010-23 Lexus GX460, 2003-09 Lexus GX470 and 2007-14 FJ Cruiser passenger side uppers when the listing compatibility is confirmed.
• Steel Construction: Steel arm material offers durability under normal driving loads and resists bending better than thin stamped units.
• Bushings Included: Comes with bushings installed so the part is ready for immediate fitment and reduces the need for additional press work.
• Reference Numbers: Matches multiple OE and aftermarket reference numbers for easy cross-referencing during parts ordering.

Who It's For

This part is aimed at owners of compatible Toyota and Lexus SUVs who need a passenger side upper control arm replacement that closely matches factory geometry. It suits DIY mechanics and independent shops that prefer a complete assembly with bushings and a press-in ball joint to avoid sourcing separate components.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers needing adjustable arms for alignment tuning or greaseable joints for heavy off-road use, since this unit is not adjustable and the ball joint is a press-in, non-greaseable design.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Direct OE-style fit makes replacement straightforward for compatible models.
• Complete assembly with bushings reduces installation time and parts sourcing.
• Steel construction gives a solid, serviceable feel and long-term durability in normal use.

Cons

• Ball joint is not greaseable and a few users reported ball joint damage, so heavy off-road use may shorten service life.
• Not adjustable, so any alignment corrections may require additional shop work or shims.
