TRQ Front Forward Lower Control Strut Arm Passenger Side - Direct Fit

In this review of the TRQ Front Forward Lower Control Strut Arm for the passenger side, the bottom line is practical: this is a straightforward, vehicle-specific OE replacement for owners of compatible Mercedes CL and S Class models who need a clean fit and an easy swap. The reviewer found it best for DIY mechanics and independent shops because the part is a direct fit assembly with an integrated ball joint, matching the OE reference numbers listed in the fitment. Fitment accuracy and value are the single biggest reasons to consider this control arm.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Arrives as an OE replacement assembly designed to install in place of the factory part without modifications.
• Integrated Ball Joint: The control arm comes with a machined ball joint mount so you replace the entire lower arm and joint in one job for convenience.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Listing includes exact model years and variants so buyers can confirm compatibility with S550, S63 AMG, S600, S65 AMG, CL550, CL63 AMG and CL65 AMG models.
• Aluminum Construction: The control arm material is aluminum which helps reduce unsprung weight while maintaining the required structural form for suspension geometry.
• OE Reference Match: Matches multiple OE reference numbers such as 2213302411 and 2213306411, aiding parts cross-referencing for correct replacement.

Who It's For

The TRQ lower control arm is ideal for Mercedes owners dealing with worn front passenger side suspension on 2007-2014 CL and 2007-2013 S Class models who want a direct OE-style replacement that simplifies installation and minimizes alignment surprises. It suits competent DIYers and independent repair shops that prefer swapping a complete control arm plus ball joint assembly rather than pressing out a separate joint.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers seeking a heavy-duty or performance-upgraded suspension arm; this part focuses on correct fit and value rather than beefed-up aftermarket reinforcement. Also confirm exact year and submodel against the listing fitment before ordering.
