Friends, need to replace the front control arms and would like to explore after market options. Lots offered on Ebay from Lemforder, Meyle and others. Any recommendations for something other than OEM?
Thanks

I just replaced mine w/ OEM parts @ about 120k, myself.

Maybe it would be wise to go stock with better aftermarket bushings, though.

I think the bushings are the "weak link", so to speak.
Mine were totally hammered.

mine are none existent. I've got no bushings... sucks *****. oem is way to bloody expensive, plus the after market has to have good bushings for several reasons, one they gotta be safe enough to be on the street (dot). Two if they aren't then that company would no longer exist... can anyone guess why?..hmm... to many deaths and or **** product, thus no body buys anymore. and third.. They're still in business, they sell a ton of them... and even if they blew out at a 150k.. I'd be totally ok with that, cuz for 200 bucks.. I'd do it again. defnitely not 500 or more like some of those out there...

It's just bushings!!!!! geez... no need to charge so bloody much. That or just buy the bushings yourself and press them in.. I've thought about doing it that way. I'm just not as patient to do one at a time currently.

Just my two cents...

Bang for buck, can't beat FCP Groton. For absolute quality, Lemforder. I did alot of research on the forums and will either go with Lemforder or Febi/Blisten when I do the whole set but would recomend FCP if money is tight. Much better than some of the other off brand stuff I've seen.
