Control arms, it there a better brand to go with?
hey everyone, just bought my car and just found out the control arms need to be replaced (front upper). the car has pretty low milage and i was wondering if i should replace both upper control arms now, and if there is a better brand to go with so they don't go bad again. thanks

from what i can tell the uppers are what go bad, when the car was on a lift there was play in the uppers...couldn't tell about the lowers though. do the lowers go out just as much as the uppers? thanks

I have had to replace 4 uppers only - lowers are still ok after 115k miles

How can you tell if they need to be replaced? Can you feel a looseness when driving or tire wear?
