Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 89% of Ford Mustang listings compared to 66% for the Honda Civic, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Ford Mustang side.
The Ford Mustang average ($118) runs 48% above its median ($80), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
The Honda Civic control arm is interchangeable across 16 model years versus just 11 for the Ford Mustang — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.

Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used control arm
- Inspect the arm for subtle bends, hairline cracks, or deep rust scale, comparing geometry carefully against your original unit.
- Examine the rubber bushings for dry rot, tearing, or separation from the metal casing, as worn bushings require pressing out before installation.
- Check integrated ball joints for boot tears and axial play; if non-replaceable, factor in the cost of a unit with a fresh ball joint.
- Verify material type (cast iron, stamped steel, or aluminum) and sway bar link mounting location, which can vary across sub-models and suspension packages.
