TRQ Front Steering & Suspension Kit Control Arm with Ball Joint - HR-V

In this review of the TRQ Front Steering & Suspension Kit the bottom line is simple: this 8-piece kit is aimed at do-it-yourself owners of 2016-2022 Honda HR-V models who want a direct-fit replacement that restores road feel without custom work. The reviewer found the kit provides an OEM-like fit and straightforward installation, with pre-assembled control arms and matched tie rods and sway bar links included. The single biggest reason to buy is the convenience of a complete front-end kit that replaces inner and outer tie rods, lower control arms with ball joints, and sway bar links in one purchase.

Key Features

• Complete 8-piece kit: Includes two front inner tie rods, two front outer tie rods, two front lower control arms with ball joints, and two front sway bar links for a full front-end refresh.
• Direct-fit design: Components are made as direct replacements for the original equipment so no modifications were needed during installation on tested HR-V models.
• Pre-assembled control arms: Control arms arrive with ball joints installed to save time and reduce installation steps for DIY mechanics.
• Corrosion-resistant finish: Anti-corrosion coating helps extend surface life and keeps components looking and performing well in typical road conditions.
• Compatibility guidance: The kit lists specific reference numbers and a vehicle fitment chart to help confirm fit with 2016-2022 Honda HR-V variants.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 2016-2022 Honda HR-V models who prefer to replace multiple front suspension and steering components at once to restore handling and road feel. It suits experienced DIYers and home mechanics who have the basic tools and confidence to work on front suspension, benefiting from parts that are pre-assembled and designed for direct fit.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers who need heavy-duty or upgraded aftermarket performance parts rather than OEM-style replacements, and anyone who prioritizes long-term durability above initial value; some users have reported wear issues with ball joint boots and sway bar link longevity on similar kits.
