What is the Difference Between Moog R Series and CK Control Arms?

CK, K or RK? We here at Diverse Suspension Technologies get this question a whole lot. If you are putting parts on your vehicle, you want to know exactly what you are installing. It can be hard to do that with all of these letter designations. So here is all that you need to know to clear up the confusion.

Short Answer: R Series is a value-driven replacement part while the CK Series incorporates Moog's premium Problem Solver components for a better than OE upgrade.

CK (K): Moog Problem Solver

Starting with the CK and K. Whether you see a "K" designation or a "CK" designation, you are getting the same part. The CK and K are Moogs Premium line of control arms. Utilizing their "problem solver" technology, these control arms address common factory design issues providing a better than the original replacement for your vehicle. Most CK and K control arms include ball joints that are powder coated metal with gusher bearings giving them a long life. Many of these ball joints are serviceable and have grease fittings. The CK and K arms also have problem solver bushings and a precise fit and form for easy installation.

RK: Moog R Series

The RK series is a more value-driven part. Because there are so many different vehicles both foreign and domestic, Moog has introduced the R-Series arms to provide replacements for a wide range of vehicles. The RK arms have OE fit and form geometry alignment, with pre-installed OE style bushings and most include the ball joints. However, these ball joints are not serviceable like the CK arms. All of the R Series arms have Moog validated construction and design, providing a less expensive alternative.

Type and Warranty

Each line of control arms has Forged Steel, Stamped Steel, or Forged Aluminium arms to provide the best style for your specific vehicle. The Premium CK line has a limited lifetime warranty, and the RK has a 3 year warranty that are both handled through our awesome customer service team at DST. Whether you are looking for a "light on the wallet" OE replacement, or a "premium" control arm upgrade, Moog control arms are a great choice for your vehicle.

starstarstarstarstar" Good Fit, Good Quality "

This MOOG Upper Control Arm was for a 2004 WJ Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with the 4.7L V8. I initially tried the Detroit Axle Upper Control Arm, however it had a manufacturing defect, and as a result was too narrow between the two frame end bushings by about 1/3 of an inch. As a result it would not fit, period. This MOOG part came promptly and installed with no issue. Took less than an hour to jack the vehicle, remove the old Upper Control Arm, and install this. The three mounting points consisting of the two frame end bushings and the axle end joint all lined up perfectly. Holes supporting the brake line brackets were all there and allowed reuse of those brackets and bolts. Shouldve bought this in the first place. Price was good, delivery was quick.

Are there upper control arms in the rear?

Most vehicles use either one or two control arms per wheel, on both the front and rear suspension. Many front-wheel drive vehicles only use a lower control arm, while trucks and SUVs often have both an upper and lower control arm.

How much does it cost to fix a rear control arm?

On average, you can expect a car control arm replacement to cost between $500 and $750. Depending on your vehicle make and model—prices may also vary slightly depending on whether it is a front or rear control arm that needs replacing.

Can you drive with a broken rear control arm?

How long can I drive with the damaged control arm? With the damaged or worn-out control arm, you can drive your vehicle for a week or less but it should be repaired as soon as you detect the problem through the methods given above before the suspension gets broken.

Should you replace both upper control arms at the same time?

Another reason why replacing these components in pairs is necessary is due to the ball joints. Ball joints typically cannot be replaced separately, so the entire control arm needs to be replaced. The ball joints are critical to vehicle alignment, so these control arms should also be replaced in pairs.
