Default RE: Changing Control Arms

Thanks for all the help guys.

I've spotted some Meyle control arms with everything (upper, lower, sway bars, mounting hardware, etc) for 525$. Seems like a good deal, so I'll probably take it.

I know that changing the arms can be a real PITA if you drive in snowy roads. Salt and stuff make the bolts really hard to remove, but other than that I think it just takes a lot of time.

But anyway, thanks again!

i have replaced these arms with aftermkt one and they squeak when new but after some time they stop. the guy in the shop tells me that the factory one squeak also. How come the one on new cars dont?
ORIGINAL: dankhound

Couldnt tell you how the aftermarket arms perform or fit as ive never used them. This is one of few ocassions where ill say go with something other than oem thou. The factory arms are garbage. They seem to fail on to regular of a basis, so the aftermarket ones couldnt really be any worse.
