In this review of the TRQ Front Control Arm with Ball Joint Set the bottom line is clear: this eight-piece, vehicle-specific kit is aimed at owners who need a full front suspension refresh on compatible 2010-2012 Audi A4 and 2010-2011 A5 models, including Quattro variants. The reviewer found the kit valuable because it replaces both upper and lower forward and rearward arms with ball joints in one purchase, simplifying a major front-end repair and restoring correct geometry without sourcing multiple parts separately.
Key Features
- Complete 8-Piece Kit: Includes front lower forward and rearward control arms and front upper forward and rearward control arms with ball joints so both sides can be serviced together for balanced suspension performance.
- Direct Fit OE Replacement: Designed as an OE replacement to match factory fit and mounting points, reducing fitment headaches during installation.
- Vehicle Specific Fitment: Fitment lists production-date details for 2010-2012 Audi A4 and 2010-2011 A5 models to help buyers confirm compatibility before ordering.
- OE Reference Crosses: Supplied with many OE reference numbers so technicians can verify it against original equipment and aftermarket databases.
- All Arms with Ball Joints Where Needed: Critical pivot points arrive pre-assembled where applicable, saving installation time and ensuring correct articulation.
Who It's For
This kit is for DIY mechanics and independent shops working on affected Audi A4 and A5 models who want a comprehensive front suspension overhaul with parts that match OE geometry. It suits owners replacing multiple worn arms or addressing alignment and handling issues caused by deteriorated bushings or ball joints.
It is not for drivers who only need a single arm or a cosmetic fix; those customers should source individual replacement arms. Buyers should also confirm vehicle production date and model details in the listing rather than assuming fitment across unrelated Audi model years.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Comprehensive kit that replaces all four front arms per side, simplifying a full suspension service.
- Generally praised for fit and ease of installation by customers, which reduces shop labor time.
- Good value for money versus buying individual OE parts, especially when multiple arms are worn.
Cons
- Some customer feedback notes concerns over long-term durability of ball joints, so expect routine inspection after installation.
