Front Upper Control Arm Set for 2009-2014 Hyundai Genesis & Equus

In this review of the TRQ Front Upper Control Arm with Ball Joint set, the bottom line is straightforward: this two-piece OE replacement kit is for owners of 2009-2014 Hyundai Genesis and 2011-2014 Equus who need a direct-fit, durable repair without extra modification. The reviewer found the kit delivers the single biggest benefit expected from a suspension replacement part - reliable fit and function that closely matches OE performance - and it is particularly useful when both upper forward control arms require replacement at the same time.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: The control arms are designed as OE replacement pieces so they install without fabrication or alteration for compatible model years.
• Two-Piece Kit: Includes both front driver and front passenger upper forward control arms with ball joints to restore symmetrical suspension geometry.
• Built for Vehicle Specific Fitment: Fitment information is vehicle specific and the kit lists OE reference numbers to confirm compatibility for Genesis and Equus models.
• Complete Ball Joint Assembly: Each arm comes with an integrated ball joint which simplifies installation and reduces the need to press in separate components.
• Aftermarket References Provided: Multiple aftermarket and OE cross-reference numbers are listed, making it easier to verify part matching for repairs or service manuals.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for Hyundai owners who need both front upper forward control arms replaced on 2009-2014 Genesis sedans or 2011-2014 Equus models (2014 Equus to 2/03/14 production). It suits DIY mechanics and independent shops that prefer a direct-fit OE-style replacement with ball joints already installed, saving time compared with sourcing separate components.

It is not intended for vehicles outside the listed model years or for drivers seeking performance-tuned aftermarket suspension; those shoppers should look for performance control arms or adjustable aftermarket options that are explicitly designed for modified alignment settings.

Pros & Cons
