Where the Cadillac CTS control arm is listed

Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

What does a Cadillac CTS control arm cost by year?
Market analysis
How much does a used Cadillac CTS control arm cost?
Asking prices for a used Cadillac CTS control arm are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 8 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 16% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $80.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, V-Series (6.2L supercharged), rear, RH, lists at a $64 median, while V-Series (6.2L supercharged), rear, LH commands $179, a 180% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $75, while 2018 tops the table at $85. Parts from 2008–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 12 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Cadillac CTS sits 61% below the Toyota 4Runner ($193), 58% below the Mercedes S Class ($180), and 25% 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.
