Where the Audi Q5 control arm is listed
We found priced Audi Q5 control arm listings at 141 salvage yards across 25 states. California supplies the most, with 334 listings (23% of the total) from 26 yards.

Market analysis
How much does a used Audi Q5 control arm cost?
Asking prices for a used Audi Q5 control arm are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 33% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $100.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, classic style, forward, LH, lists at a $136 median, while classic style, rearward, RH commands $146, a 7% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $71, while 2023 tops the table at $214. Parts from 2008–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 10 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Audi Q5 sits 51% below the Toyota 4Runner ($193), 47% below the Mercedes S Class ($180), and 5% below the Mercedes E Class ($100) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used control arm: what to check
- Inspect ball joint boot and stud play: Check for torn rubber dust boots, cracked grease seals, or lateral movement in the ball joint stud when flexed with a pry bar.
- Check rubber bushing integrity: Look for dry-rotted, torn, or fluid-leaking hydraulic suspension bushings where the arm mounts to the subframe.
- Verify structural straightness against factory specs: Compare the arm against original dimensions to spot subtle bends caused by curb strikes or suspension impacts.
- Confirm ball joint attachment design: Determine whether the arm uses a bolt-on ball joint or an integrated press-fit socket to anticipate future maintenance needs.
- Torque bushing bolts at ride height only: Tightening subframe pivot bolts while the vehicle is raised on jacks twists rubber bushings and causes premature tearing.
