Technical Details and Construction

The TC2358 control arm assembly features a lightweight yet strong aluminum body, combining casting and forging methods to ensure structural integrity and durability. The natural rubber bushings help absorb road shocks and reduce noise, maintaining ride comfort. The ball joint stud is threaded and measures approximately 70 mm (2.756 inches) in length, providing a secure connection to the suspension knuckle. This assembly is pre-greased, eliminating the need for additional lubrication during installation, although it does not include a grease fitting or allow for greasing after installation.

It is specifically designed for the front right lower and front right lower rearward suspension positions, ensuring precise fitment and optimal suspension geometry.

Common Suspension Issues Addressed

• Worn or damaged control arm bushings causing excessive play
• Ball joint wear leading to steering instability or noise
• Corroded or bent control arms affecting wheel alignment
• Vibration and harshness from deteriorated suspension components
• Replacement of standard grade suspension parts for routine maintenance

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify the part number TC2358 matches your vehicle’s requirements. The assembly comes pre-greased and includes mounting hardware, simplifying the replacement process. Since the control arm is non-adjustable, ensure proper alignment is performed after installation. Use appropriate torque specifications for mounting bolts and inspect related suspension components for wear during replacement.
