TRQ Front Steering & Suspension Kit for 2011-2012 Fusion/MKZ - 12

In this review the TRQ Front Steering & Suspension Kit is evaluated for owners of 2009-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ models who need a full front-end refresh. The kit's single biggest selling point is that it delivers a complete, vehicle-specific replacement set in one box, making it easier for a DIY mechanic or a shop to replace worn components at once. It is a direct fit OE replacement design, which means fewer surprises during installation and a clear path to restoring steering response and handling balance.

Key Features

• Complete 12-piece kit: Includes both upper and forward and rearward lower control arms with ball joints plus inner and outer tie rods and sway bar links so a full front suspension refresh can be done in one job.
• Direct fit, OE replacement: Designed to match factory fitment for the listed Fusion and MKZ models so components install without modification.
• Anti-corrosion coated components: Enhanced surface life helps resist rust in areas exposed to road salt and moisture for longer-lasting wear.
• Vehicle specific compatibility: Fitment covers 2011-2012 Fusion V6 3.5L and 2009-2012 MKZ front ends, reducing trial-and-error ordering for these years.
• Kitted for restored performance: Replacing the worn arms, tie rods, and links together improves road-feel and handling compared with piecemeal repairs.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of the specified Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ model years who want a single-purchase solution to replace most front steering and suspension wear items. It suits experienced DIYers with basic suspension tools or independent shops that prefer to do a complete front rebuild in one labor cycle.

It is not the right choice for drivers of other models or those who only need a single part; if you only have one failed component a single OE replacement may be more cost effective. Also, buyers who require pre-greased ball joints or a lifetime warranty should check other premium options.
