TRQ Rear Lower Control Arm Set Compatible with Dodge Caliber Jeep

In this review the TRQ Rear Lower Control Arm Set is evaluated for owners of 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber and 2007-2017 Jeep Compass and Patriot models. The bottom line: this two-piece, direct-fit OE replacement is for DIY mechanics and repair shops who need a factory-like rearward lower control arm that fits without extensive modification. The reviewer found the kit delivers solid build quality, straightforward installation, and enough adjustment capability to correct alignment, making it the practical replacement for worn or damaged rear lower control arms.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Installs as an OE replacement with no need for custom fabrication, saving time in a typical rear suspension repair.
• Complete 2-Piece Kit: Includes both driver and passenger rearward lower control arms so both sides can be serviced together for balanced handling.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Designed for 2007-12 Dodge Caliber and 2007-17 Jeep Compass and Patriot without Off Road Package, reducing the risk of ordering the wrong part.
• Aftermarket Cross References: Matches multiple reference numbers used by other suppliers, making it easier to verify compatibility with repair manuals and parts catalogs.
• Solid Construction: Customers report factory-like fit and build quality that provides reliable alignment and suspension function after installation.

Who It's For

The kit suits owners and independent mechanics replacing worn rear lower rearward control arms on compatible Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass, and Jeep Patriot models who want a direct-fit, OE-style replacement. It is also appropriate for those performing rear suspension repairs who prefer to replace both sides at once for consistent handling.

This is not aimed at vehicles with the Off Road Package or owners needing upgraded performance control arms; those users should look for heavy-duty or adjustable aftermarket performance arms. Also, anyone who cannot perform a basic alignment after installation should plan for professional alignment service.
