TRQ Front Upper Control Arm RH for 79-03 Dodge Full Size Van

In this review of the TRQ Front Upper Control Arm Passenger Side Right RH for 79-03 Dodge Full Size Van the bottom line is simple: this is a straightforward, vehicle-specific OE replacement for owners who need a direct-fit repair on the passenger side upper suspension. The reviewer found it suits mechanics and DIYers who want a matched control arm and ball joint assembly that installs without modification and restores proper steering geometry. Fitment checking for exact model years and GVW exclusions is the single biggest reason to consider this part.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Installs in place of the factory unit with no modification needed for compatible 79-03 Dodge full size vans and Ram vans.
• OE Replacement Assembly: Includes the ball joint and control arm together so the suspension is rebuilt to original-style configuration.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: The listing includes model year and 4000LB GVW exclusions so buyers can confirm this part matches their van before purchase.
• Aftermarket Cross References: Multiple reference numbers are provided, making it easier to verify parts compatibility with repair guides and parts catalogs.
• Value-Oriented: Customers reported the control arm offers a lower-cost alternative to OEM while still matching original fit and finish for many installs.

Who It's For

This part is aimed at owners and mechanics repairing 79-03 Dodge full size vans and Ram 1500/2500/3500 passenger front upper suspension where the vehicle falls within the specified fitment and is not the 4000LB GVW variant. It suits those who want a ready-to-install control arm and ball joint assembly rather than sourcing components separately.

It is not ideal for vans outside the listed model years, for high GVW variants excluded in the fitment, or for users who require an OEM-branded part number as their only acceptable choice. Anyone unsure of fitment should verify the vehicle-specific details before purchasing.
