TRQ Rear Control Arm Set Compatible with 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber

In this review the TRQ Rear Control Arm Set is assessed for owners of late-2000s Dodge Caliber and 2007-17 Jeep Compass and Patriot models who need a direct OE-style replacement. The bottom line: this 4-piece kit replaces both rear upper and rearward lower control arms and delivers a straightforward, vehicle-specific fit so most DIYers and independent shops can restore proper alignment and suspension geometry without guessing. Fitment notes are important, so confirm your model and that the vehicle is not equipped with an off road package before purchasing.

Key Features

• Complete 4-Piece Kit: Includes two rear lower rearward control arms and two rear upper control arms to address both sides of the rear suspension in one purchase.
• OE Reference Compatibility: Cross-references common OE and aftermarket numbers so it is easier to confirm compatibility with 5105271AB and related part references.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Labeled for 2007-12 Dodge Caliber and 2007-17 Jeep Compass and Patriot rear suspension without the off road package to avoid fitment surprises.
• Alignment-Friendly: Built with adjustment capability that lets installers achieve proper rear alignment without extra parts.
