Rear Upper & Lower Control Arm Kit for Dodge Caliber Jeep Compass

In this review of the 6 PCS Rear Upper Lateral & Lower Control Arms & Rear Lower Rearward Lateral Toe Arms Suspension Kit, the bottom line is simple: this kit is for owners of Dodge Caliber 2007-2012 or Jeep Compass and Patriot 2007-2017 who need a complete rear control arm refresh that prioritizes fit and durability. The reviewer found the kit valuable because it bundles the specific rear arms needed for those models, replaces worn linkages all at once, and arrives with pre-installed rubber bushings to reduce noise and vibration, making it a practical repair or preventative upgrade.

Key Features

• Vehicle fitment: The kit is specifically designed to fit Dodge Caliber 2007-2012 and Jeep Compass and Patriot 2007-2017 models that do not have the Off-Road Package, ensuring correct geometry for those vehicles.
• Complete kit: Includes 2x Rear Upper Lateral Arms (K641281), 2x Rear Lower Control Arms (K641868), and 2x Rear Lower Rearward Lateral Toe Arms (K641226) so users can replace all major rear lateral and lower linkages at once.
• Engineered durability: Each control arm is designed for its specific application and undergoes impact, anti-corrosion, wear and fatigue testing for dependable service life.
• Heat-treated hardware: The application of specific heat treatment to hardware is intended to improve component strength and long-term performance under load.
• Noise and vibration reduction: Pre-installed rubber bushings help isolate road noise and vibration for a smoother, more controlled ride during cornering and on rough surfaces.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners performing a comprehensive rear suspension refresh on compatible Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass, or Jeep Patriot models without the Off-Road Package. It is convenient for DIY mechanics and independent shops who prefer to replace all related rear lateral and lower arms at once rather than sourcing individual parts.

It is less suitable for vehicles with the Off-Road Package or for owners who only need a single control arm replaced; in those cases, buying the specific replacement part separately may be a better option.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Complete set covers both upper and lower rear lateral linkages, simplifying repairs.
• Pre-installed rubber bushings reduce noise and vibration immediately after installation.
• Components undergo testing and heat-treated hardware for improved durability and safety.

Cons

• Not compatible with models that include the Off-Road Package, so fitment must be confirmed before purchase.

Specifications
