TRQ Front Steering & Suspension Kit Control Arm Tie Rod - Direct Fit

In this review the TRQ Front Steering & Suspension Kit is evaluated for drivers who need a straightforward, vehicle-specific replacement for front suspension and steering parts. The kit's single biggest selling point is that it is a direct fit OE replacement designed to restore handling without modification, making it a practical choice for owners of 2010-2012 Ford Taurus and Flex, and 2009-2012 Lincoln MKS and 2010-2012 MKT. The review looks at fit, installation, materials, and real-world durability using owner reports and the kit's stated attributes.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: The kit is built as a direct OE replacement so no modifications are needed for correct installation on listed vehicles.
• Kitted for Restored Performance: Including both control arms and outer tie rods, it aims to restore road-feel and handling by replacing worn front steering components together.
• Anti-Corrosion Coated: Components receive enhanced surface protection to resist rust and extend service life in wet or salted conditions.
• Aftermarket Reference Numbers: Matches common aftermarket references ES800222, MS40601, SUS06035, SUS06036, SUS07676 for easier cross-referencing when ordering.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: The listing emphasizes checking compatibility, ensuring the kit is appropriate for the specified Ford and Lincoln front applications.

Who It's For

The kit is best for owners of compatible 2010-12 Ford Taurus and Flex, and compatible 2009-12 Lincoln MKS and 2010-12 MKT who want to replace multiple front steering components at once with a direct-fit, aftermarket option. It suits DIYers and independent shops that prefer swapping both lower control arms and outer tie rods in one job to regain handling and alignment stability.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers seeking OEM-branded parts with extended factory warranties or anyone who requires pre-greased ball joints or heavy-duty commercial-grade upgrades for high-mileage, high-load use. Also check fitment carefully before purchase to avoid missing parts for other model years or configurations.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Complete 4-piece kit replaces both front lower control arms with ball joints and both front outer tie rods, simplifying a front-end overhaul.
• Direct fit design reduces installation time and the need for extra modifications for compatible vehicles.
• Anti-corrosion coating increases expected service life compared with uncoated parts in similar price brackets.
• Clear aftermarket reference numbers help confirm cross-compatibility when sourcing or comparing parts.

Cons

• Some customers report durability issues over time, particularly with tie rods and ball joints lasting around two years on certain vehicles.
• There are occasional reports of missing parts or defective threads, so inspect contents on arrival and be prepared to contact the seller if anything is wrong.
