just wanted to share how great my car feels after getting all the control arms and tie rods changed. labor cost me 350.00 total. Inially i was going to go with a brand name kit but my mechanic advised me that as long as im not racing or doing anything stupid i didnt need to spend it on top of the line kit.

Jesus tapdancing christ those are cheap, am I crazy or has there been a massive influx of incredibly cheap control arm kits lately?

FYI, I can almost guarantee those will start clunking real soon. Like less than 20k soon, start saving up for a proper set so that you'll be prepared to change them out when they go. Unless you're not keeping the car that long, then by all means stick with these. I've seen 5 year old OEM arms in better shape than 5 month old cheap arms, you really do get what you pay for.

I replaced my tie rods when I replaced my steering rack. Also went ahead and replaced the entire front control arm set. Bought em for like 260.00 at FCP Groton online. Lifetime warranty. I've put like 1,000 on them so far in New York City, and with all these potholes they are still tight.


Fingers crossed.

nice... I'm in ct so roads aren't that bad

Who has the money to buy the Genuine control arm kit anyway. Its probably in the thousands if not the high hundreds.

That is true, a Lemfoerder kit goes for around $1k :eek: The next best thing is Febi, which retail around $450, that would be my choice.
