TRQ Front Upper Aluminum Control Arm Ball Joint RH Passenger Side

In this review of the TRQ Front Upper Aluminum Control Arm Ball Joint RH Passenger Side the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, cost-conscious OE replacement for owners of compatible Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs who need a direct-fit front passenger upper control arm with integrated ball joint. The reviewer found it to be a solid match for original equipment geometry, easy to install for anyone comfortable with suspension work, and a clear value choice when an aluminum upper arm is required. Fitment must be checked carefully against vehicle model years and RPO codes before purchase.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement so it installs without modification and preserves factory alignment geometry when used with proper torque and shims.
• Aluminum Construction: The aluminum arm reduces unsprung weight while maintaining the shape and mounting points of the original assembly for longevity and consistent handling.
• Integrated Ball Joint: Comes with a pre-assembled ball joint to simplify replacement and reduce labor time compared with separate components.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Fitment notes and compatibility listings are provided so buyers for Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon and Suburban models can verify fit before ordering.
• OE Reference Numbers: Cross-referenced to OE numbers such as 22840984 and 23125969 to help confirm compatibility with factory parts lists.

Who It's For

This part is best for owners and independent mechanics working on 2014-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 models with aluminum upper control arms, as well as applicable Tahoe, Yukon, Yukon XL and Suburban models listed in the fitment. It suits drivers who want a direct-fit replacement that restores factory suspension geometry without the wait or expense of dealer parts.

It is not aimed at someone who needs a universal or performance aftermarket arm with different geometry, or vehicles outside the specified model years and RPO exclusions such as the Z56 police package or units with AAV noted in the listing. Always check the vehicle-specific fitment information before purchase.
