Our guide covers 11 model years for the Toyota 4Runner (2015–2025) but only 5 for the Buick Regal (2015–2020), so the Toyota 4Runner data reflects a broader range of generations.
Only 53% of Buick Regal control arm listings include a posted price (602 of 1,138 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.
The Toyota 4Runner control arm is interchangeable across 16 model years versus just 11 for the Buick Regal — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Buick Regal is 64% cheaper ($69 vs $190) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.
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.
