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

In this review the TRQ Front Right Lower Control Arm with Ball Joint is judged as a pragmatic OE replacement for owners of 1989-94 Mitsubishi, Eagle and Plymouth models who need a reliable, direct-fit passenger side lower control arm. The bottom line: it is for drivers who want a near-original fit without paying dealer prices, and the single biggest reason to buy is the direct fitment and matching OE reference numbers that simplify installation and ensure compatibility when the listing confirms vehicle fitment.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: The arm is built as an OE replacement, which reduces the need for fabrication or modification during installation.
• Complete Assembly: The control arm ships with the ball joint and bushings included, so the part arrives ready to install on the front passenger lower position.
• Vehicle Specific: The listing includes clear fitment notes for 1989-94 Galant, Eclipse, Talon and Laser models, helping shoppers confirm compatibility.
• Steel Construction: A steel control arm body gives the part the stiffness expected for suspension load control on the front lower corner.
• Reference Numbers: Multiple OE and aftermarket reference numbers are provided, making it easier to cross-check part compatibility with repair manuals or parts catalogs.

Who It's For

The TRQ control arm is aimed at DIY mechanics, independent shops and budget-conscious owners of 1990-94 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 1989-93 Galant, 1990-92 Eagle Talon and 1990-94 Plymouth Laser who need a reliable replacement that matches original equipment references. It is especially useful when the repair requires a ready-to-install assembly with bushings and a press-in ball joint.

Drivers who require a lifetime greaseable ball joint, performance-tuned geometry, or a fully adjustable ultra-high-strength competition arm should look elsewhere; this part is intended as a direct OE-style replacement rather than a racing upgrade.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Direct OE replacement fit simplifies the installation process for compatible vehicles.
• Includes ball joint and bushings, so the arm arrives as a complete suspension assembly.
• Solid steel construction provides the expected durability for street driving.

Cons

• Ball joint is press-in and not greaseable, so long-term serviceability can be limited compared with greaseable designs.
