TRQ Front Control Arm with Ball Joint Set Compatible with 2009-2010

In this review of the TRQ Front Control Arm with Ball Joint Set, the bottom line is simple: this eight-piece kit is aimed at owners who need a complete, direct-fit replacement for worn front control arms on specific 2008-2010 Audi A4 and A5 models. The reviewer found the kit valuable for restoring suspension geometry and steering feel because it includes both forward and rearward upper and lower control arms with ball joints, eliminating the need to source individual components. It is a practical option for technicians and DIYers who want an OE replacement-style set that simplifies a multi-part job.

Key Features

• Complete 8-piece kit: Includes forward and rearward upper and lower front control arms with ball joints to replace the full set at once, saving time on parts sourcing.
• Direct fit: Designed as an OE replacement to match factory mounting points, which helps preserve original suspension alignment and handling characteristics.
• Vehicle specific fitment: Fitment notes for 2008-2010 Audi A4, A4 Quattro, A5 and A5 Quattro reduce guesswork when confirming compatibility.
• OE and aftermarket references: Ships with reference numbers that align to OEM part numbers and aftermarket cross references for easier verification during installation.
• Ball joints included: Upper and lower arms with pressed-in ball joints remove the need to separately source joints, simplifying the replacement process.

Who It's For

This set is best for Audi A4 and A5 owners, independent shops, and experienced DIY mechanics who need a full front control arm replacement and prefer a direct-fit, OE-style kit to restore handling and front-end geometry. It suits vehicles listed in the fitment notes where multiple arms and ball joints are worn and replacing the whole ensemble makes sense.

It is less suitable for owners of other makes or models not listed in the fitment, or for those who only need a single control arm or ball joint; in those cases buying a single-arm part may be more economical. Always check the vehicle specific fitment information in the listing before purchasing.
