TRQ Front Steering & Suspension Kit for 2011-12 Ford Fusion - 10 Piece

In this review the TRQ Front Steering & Suspension Kit is evaluated for owners of 2009-2012 Lincoln MKZ and 2011-2012 Ford Fusion with the V6 3.5L front suspension. The bottom line: this is a practical, ready-to-install 10 piece OE replacement kit that restores steering feel and handling without hunting for individual parts. The reviewer found the kit best for do-it-yourself mechanics or independent shops that need a complete front suspension refresh with matched control arms, ball joints, tie rods and sway bar links.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement so the parts bolt in without modification, saving installation time and trimming shop labor.
• Complete 10 Piece Kit: Includes front upper and lower control arms with ball joints, outer tie rods and sway bar links so the whole front end can be refreshed at once for consistent handling.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Labeled for 2011-12 Ford Fusion and 2009-12 Lincoln MKZ front applications to reduce the chance of ordering the wrong components.
• Anti-Corrosion Coating: Enhanced surface protection helps components resist rust and extend useful life in wet or salted conditions.
• OE Reference Coverage: Matches multiple OE and aftermarket reference numbers, making it easier to verify compatibility with factory parts lists.
• Kitted for Restored Performance: Replaces worn suspension parts in coordinated groups to improve road feel and handling over replacing single items.

Who It's For

This kit is for Fusion and MKZ owners who prefer to replace the entire front steering and suspension subassembly in one job, particularly those with V6 3.5L front-end models from 2011-2012 or MKZ models from 2009-2012 who want matched components for consistent performance. It suits independent mechanics and skilled DIYers who can handle control arm and tie rod installation and alignment.

It is not the best choice for someone who only needs a single part repaired and wants the cheapest one-off replacement, or for vehicles outside the listed model years without verifying fitment. Buyers seeking pre-greased ball joints or factory lubricated joints should check individual part details before purchase.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Complete kit restores front suspension geometry and handling in a single service interval.
• Direct fit, OE-style replacements reduce installation complexity and downtime.
• Good value for money compared with buying each component separately.
• Anti-corrosion coating improves durability in harsh climates.

Cons

• Some customers report mixed results with ball joint durability, so long-term life can vary by use and installation.
• Not pre-greased, so installers should be prepared to perform recommended lubrication and alignment after fitting.
