Our take on the TrueDrive Front Driver Side Part for 2012 Toyota Prius C Four

This is a stamped steel front lower control arm for the driver's side of a 2012 Toyota Prius C, sold by TrueDrive as an OE-style replacement. It comes with the ball joint and rubber bushings already installed, plus the mounting nut, so it is a bolt-on part rather than a bare arm you have to press together. The only new price found is $32.99 at CarParts.com as of November 4, 2026, which is low for a loaded control arm and consistent with an aftermarket rather than dealer part.

What reviewers say

Only 7 ratings are on record, averaging 5 out of 5, so the sample is too small to call a track record. Buyers of this type of arm generally report it fits and quiets front-end clunks, but long-term bushing life is the open question.

Pros
  • Fits the 2012 Prius C without modification
  • Comes complete with ball joint and hardware
  • Quiets front-end clunks and restores steering feel
Cons
  • Bushing durability over years is unproven
  • Small number of ratings limits confidence

Questions and answers

Is this worth it over a Toyota dealer control arm?
At $32.99 it costs far less than a dealer arm. The trade-off is aftermarket rubber bushings and stamping, so expect a shorter service life than the OEM part.
Does it fit both front sides?
No. It is the driver-side, front, lower arm only. The passenger side is a separate part.
What is in the box?
The control arm with the ball joint and bushings installed, plus the mounting nut. No other hardware is listed.
Do I need an alignment after installing it?
Yes. Replacing a control arm changes suspension geometry, so get a front alignment afterward.
Can I install it myself?
It is a bolt-on part, but the ball joint nut and arm bolts are often seized on older cars. A torque wrench and a ball joint separator help.
When is it cheapest?
The best new price found was $32.99 at CarParts.com as of November 4, 2026. Only one store lists it, so there is little room to shop around.
