TRQ Front Right Lower Control Arm with Ball Joint - Direct Fit

In this review the TRQ Front Right Lower Control Arm with Ball Joint is examined as a practical OE replacement for owners of compatible Fiat 500X, Jeep Compass and Renegade models. The bottom line: this is a straightforward, vehicle-specific replacement that delivers correct fit and solid construction for drivers who need a direct fit, bolt-in lower control arm assembly. It is best for DIYers or independent shops that want an affordable, like-for-like part that includes the control arm and ball joint in one assembly.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: The assembly is engineered as a direct OE replacement so it installs without modification on listed passenger side lower positions.
• Integrated Ball Joint: Having the ball joint mounted and secured by bolts reduces installation steps compared with separate-component repairs.
• Steel Construction: The steel control arm offers durable support for suspension geometry and is built to match original part dimensions.
• Bushings Included: Included bushings simplify installation because the arm arrives ready to attach to the vehicle subframe and knuckle.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: The listing provides explicit fitment information for Fiat 500X, Jeep Compass and Renegade model years to help ensure compatibility.

Who It's For

This control arm is suited to owners of 2016-2022 Fiat 500X, 2017-2021 Jeep Compass and 2015-2022 Renegade models needing a front passenger side lower arm replacement. It fits all-wheel drive and specified Mexico-built models where noted, making it a good match for owners wanting a like-for-like repair without dealer pricing.

It is less appropriate for vehicles outside the listed fitment or for customers who need an adjustable or greaseable aftermarket upgrade. If you want a premium rebuildable arm with serviceable ball joint grease fittings, look for a different part.
