TRQ Front Lower Control Arm with Ball Joint Passenger Side - Direct 25

In this review the TRQ Front Lower Control Arm with Ball Joint for the passenger side is evaluated for owners of 2007-2010 Audi Q7, 2003-2010 Porsche Cayenne, and 2004-2010 VW Touareg. The bottom line: this control arm is a practical, direct-fit replacement that aims to match OE geometry and simplify installation, so it is best for DIY mechanics and repair shops needing a conventional cast iron control arm that includes bushings and a machined ball joint mounting.

Key Features

• Direct-fit replacement: Pre-assembled components are designed to fit the original mounting points so no modifications are required during installation.
• Cast iron construction: The control arm material provides robust structural strength for front lower suspension duties on heavy SUVs.
• Ball joint mounting machined: The machined mounting surface helps ensure accurate alignment and consistent steering feel after installation.
• Bushings included: Supplied bushings reduce the need to source separate parts and help maintain factory-like compliance.
• Wide compatibility: References and part numbers cover numerous OE equivalents for Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and VW Touareg applications.
• Ease of installation: Pre-assembled design reduces labor time for mechanics and experienced DIYers replacing the front lower arm.

Who It's For

This control arm is aimed at owners of late 2000s Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg who need a like-for-like repair part. It is a good choice for independent shops and competent DIY mechanics who value an off-the-shelf, pre-assembled unit that installs without modification and matches many common reference numbers.

It is not intended for customized suspension builds or heavy off-road use where upgraded materials or adjustable geometry are required. Buyers who need a greaseable ball joint or an adjustable arm should consider alternative aftermarket options designed for those purposes.
