Front Upper Control Arm with Ball Joint Passenger Side for 1994-2000

In this review of the Front Upper Control Arm with Ball Joint, the bottom line is clear: this direct-fit replacement is aimed at DIYers and independent shops working on 1994-2000 Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Avenger, Eagle Talon and Mitsubishi models who need a reliable, ready-to-install passenger side upper control arm. The reviewer found it valuable because it arrives pre-assembled for straightforward installation and matches original geometry, saving time on alignment tasks while offering a cost-effective alternative to dealer parts.

Key Features

• Direct fit compatibility: Built to match factory mounting points for 1994-2000 models, which simplifies replacement and avoids modification during installation.
• Pre-assembled ball joint: The control arm comes with the ball joint pressed in and bushings included, reducing installation steps and setup time.
• Steel construction: Made from steel for durability under normal road conditions and to maintain suspension geometry over time.
• Comprehensive reference numbers: Multiple reference numbers are provided to help verify correct application and cross-reference with other part sources.
• DIY resource support: The brand provides DIY videos and guidance so installers can view procedures before they begin.

Who It's For

This control arm is best for budget-conscious vehicle owners, independent mechanics, and DIY enthusiasts who need a direct replacement for the passenger side upper control arm on compatible Chrysler, Dodge, Mitsubishi, and Eagle models from the mid 1990s to 2000. It suits projects where preserving factory fit and steering geometry is important without paying dealer prices.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers seeking an adjustable or greaseable aftermarket performance arm, or shops that require a lifetime-lubricated ball joint; this part is non-adjustable and the ball joint is press-in and non-greaseable, so it is intended as a standard replacement rather than a performance upgrade.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Steel construction and OEM-style geometry help maintain handling and alignment after installation.
• Well-documented reference numbers and available DIY videos provide confidence in compatibility and procedure.

Cons

• The ball joint is press-in and non-greaseable, and some users have reported ball joint durability concerns over longer periods.
• Not adjustable, so it is not suitable for custom alignment tuning or performance lowering projects.
