TRQ Front Lower Rearward Suspension Control Arm Ball Joint Passenger

In this review the TRQ Front Lower Rearward Suspension Control Arm Ball Joint Passenger Side is evaluated for owners of select Audi models who need a direct, OE-replacement assembly. The bottom line: this part is for drivers who want a one-piece control arm with an integrated ball joint that closely matches original fit and finish and can restore proper front suspension geometry without expensive dealer pricing. Our review looks at fit, build quality, and practical installation notes for compatible A4, A5, Q5, S4 and S5 vehicles.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: The unit arrives ready to install as a direct fit for specified passenger-side lower rearward positions, reducing installation time compared with universal parts.
• OE Replacement Assembly: Built as an OE replacement suspension control arm and ball joint assembly so it replaces the original 8K0407694Q reference for restored steering and suspension alignment.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: The listing provides vehicle-specific fitment information so buyers can confirm compatibility with 2010-17 Audi A4, A5, Q5, S4, S5 and Allroad model years before ordering.
• Aftermarket References: Multiple aftermarket reference numbers such as 520472 and RK622650 are supplied to help cross-check part interchangeability with repair manuals or parts catalogs.
• Integrated Ball Joint: The control arm includes the ball joint pre-assembled, which simplifies replacement and avoids sourcing separate components.

Who It's For

This part is best for DIY mechanics and independent repair shops working on compatible Audi models from roughly 2010 through 2017 who need a cost-effective replacement for the front passenger-side lower rearward control arm. It is particularly useful when the original OE part number 8K0407694Q needs replacing and a direct-fit aftermarket assembly is preferred.

It is not a fit for unrelated makes or for left-side positions; users should check the vehicle-specific fitment information in the listing before purchase. If a fully OEM dealer part or an upgraded performance control arm is required, shoppers should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Direct-fit design closely matches factory geometry for straightforward installation and alignment.

• Good value compared with dealer pricing while maintaining an OE reference for compatibility checks.

Cons
