TRQ Front Lower Center Control Spring Arm w Ball Joint LH - Direct Fit

Our review of the TRQ Front Lower Center Control Spring Arm w Ball Joint summarizes why a Mercedes owner needing a direct OE replacement should consider this part. It is aimed at drivers with compatible S-Class or CL models who want a unit that matches original fit and function without expensive dealer pricing. The single biggest reason to buy is its vehicle-specific fitment and OE reference alignment, which means less fuss at installation and a confident replacement for a worn lower control arm assembly.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to replace the original lower control arm assembly so it installs with factory alignment points and minimal adjustment.
• OE Replacement Assembly: Combines the control arm and ball joint in one unit to simplify repair and ensure the same mounting relationships as the factory part.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Fitment listing covers multiple Mercedes S and CL model years and codes so buyers can confirm compatibility before purchase.
• OE Reference Numbers: Cross-referenced to the original part number 2213308707, helping technicians and owners verify the correct replacement.
• Aftermarket References: Listed aftermarket reference numbers aid in comparing alternatives and confirming interchangeability.

Who It's For

This component is best for DIY mechanics and independent shops working on Mercedes Benz S550, S63 AMG, S600, S65 AMG, CL550, CL63 AMG and CL600 front driver lower control arm replacements within the listed model years and production dates. Owners who prefer a full control arm and ball joint assembly appreciate the convenience of replacing a single, vehicle-specific part.

It is not for owners of unrelated makes or model years not specified in the fitment list, nor for those who need a universal or adjustable performance control arm. If the vehicle has a different suspension code or nonstandard modifications, a thorough fitment check is required before purchase.
