Does this control arm come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This Moog control arm assembly comes with the pre-installed ball joint and control arm. It's recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of any additional hardware that may be required for your specific vehicle.

What is the benefit of the pre-installed ball joint?

Having the ball joint pre-installed simplifies the installation process. It means you often don't need specialized tools to press the ball joint into the control arm, making it a more straightforward bolt-on replacement.

How does Moog add corrosion protection to this control arm?

Moog applies coatings to the studs and uses an e-coating on the cast iron and steel control arms. This helps to inhibit premature deterioration from exposure to road salt, moisture, and other corrosive elements.

Product Details

When you're working on the rear suspension of your 1996-2004 Acura RL, this Moog rear upper control arm assembly is a solid choice. It comes with a pre-installed ball joint, which means you can often bolt it right up without needing to press in a separate component, making the job smoother. This assembly is designed to replace your original control arm and ball joint, helping to restore proper alignment and handling to your vehicle's rear end.

Moog builds these control arms with heat-treated steel and cast iron components for enhanced structural strength, aiming to prevent premature failure. They also add corrosion protection with coated studs and an e-coating on the metal parts, which helps them stand up to road salt and grime over time. The bushings are engineered for quiet operation and durability, resisting wear from daily driving conditions. The ball stud itself is shaped to ensure a long fatigue life and compensate for suspension movement.

This assembly is ready to install right out of the box, with precision tolerances that help ensure it fits correctly and makes steering alignment easier. It's a well-built part designed to get your Acura RL back to handling the way it should.
