TRQ Control Arm & Ball Joint Front Upper Forward Right RH RF - Direct

In this review of the TRQ Control Arm & Ball Joint Front Upper Forward Right RH RF, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical OE replacement for owners needing a direct-fit passenger-side upper forward control arm on compatible Audi and VW models. It suits DIY mechanics and independent shops who value an assembled control arm and ball joint that matches OE reference numbers and arrives ready to replace a worn or damaged original. The reviewer found the unit easy to install and a clear value choice for non-sport-suspension front passenger upper positions.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Arrives ready to install into compatible 2004-11 Audi and 2004-06 VW Phaeton applications without modification, saving time on fitment work.
• OE Replacement Assembly: Includes the control arm and ball joint together so the suspension pivot is already matched to factory geometry.
• Aluminum Construction: Uses an aluminum control arm material to reduce unsprung weight and resist corrosion compared with plain steel units.
• Bushings Included: Comes with the required bushings installed, so one less part to source during a repair.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Listing includes explicit fitment lines for Audi A6, A8, S6, S8 and VW Phaeton front passenger upper forward locations, helping buyers check compatibility before ordering.
• OE Reference Match: Cross-references OE numbers such as 4E0407506B/D/E/F to help verify against dealer parts lists.

Who It's For

This control arm is aimed at Audi and VW owners or independent shops repairing front passenger side upper forward suspension on model years listed in the fitment, especially where an assembled control arm and ball joint is preferred for faster replacement. It is best for vehicles without sport suspension where the part lists compatibility specifically.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners seeking a performance or heavy-duty aftermarket upgrade for track use, or anyone who needs a driver-side or rear control arm, as this unit is right-front passenger upper forward specific. Always confirm the vehicle VIN and fitment details before purchase.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Includes bushings and matches multiple OE reference numbers for easy parts verification.

Cons
