In this review the TRQ Front Control Arm with Ball Joint Set is assessed for owners of 2005-2011 Chrysler 300, 2007-2011 Dodge Charger and 2005-2008 Dodge Magnum who need a complete front suspension refresh. The bottom line: this 4 piece, direct fit kit is for DIY mechanics and independent shops that want an OE replacement style solution that covers both upper and lower arms with ball joints in one purchase, simplifying repair and restoring front-end geometry without custom work.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes two front upper and two front lower control arms with ball joints so both sides are replaced together for consistent handling.
• Direct fit: Designed as an OE replacement for a straightforward swap on compatible Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Magnum AWD models without fabrication.
• Vehicle specific compatibility: Item listing includes fitment checks and numerous aftermarket reference numbers to match original parts and ensure correct selection.
• Aftermarket reference coverage: Multiple cross reference numbers are provided which helps technicians confirm fitment against a wide set of legacy part IDs.
• Value proposition: Buying a four piece set at once reduces time and cost compared with sourcing separate arms and ball joints individually.

Who It's For

This kit suits owners of all wheel drive 2005-11 Chrysler 300, 2007-11 Dodge Charger and 2005-08 Dodge Magnum who need to replace worn upper and lower front control arms and ball joints, and prefer a matched set to restore steering feel and suspension geometry. It is also a practical choice for independent shops and experienced DIYers who can handle pressed-in ball joint installation or swap with existing hardware.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of two wheel drive variants or different model years not listed, and anyone who prefers a brand-name OEM part from the original manufacturer rather than an aftermarket OE replacement. Also, if corrosion protection or upgraded materials are required for severe off-road use, a specialty performance arm may be a better fit.
