Hi,
I would like to save money by buying a lower control arm on EBay. Anyone have experience with a good quality one? I don't want to get something I will need to replace soon after.
Thanks
Corey

    If you order from FCP you get free lifetime replacement, it might involve returning the core. And you'd still have to do the work.
    But I suspect they won't carry bad parts if they have to keep giving free ones away every 3 months.

    No one wants to spend a lot of money on parts. But, if a control arm breaks, you will be on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck.

    When the part maker is unknown, so is the quality. And you usually get what you pay for. How many miles on your current control arms? How long do you think this car should last? Would you give it to your children to drive to college?
