Hi Klaus,

Tasca is too far, unless I'm in RI for something else.
Tasca is about a 90 mile drive (each way) from Boston's North shore.
That's usually an ugly drive (the round trip is usually upward of 4 hours)
and a lot cheaper to let the UPS truck do it for $15 or whatever.
(4+ hrs my time, +$25 gas if I drive the 180 miles)

Are you saying that the Meyle HD control arm won't hold up as well as the OEM arm?
You can look on the Meyle website at their left lower 850 control arm
part" 516 050 0015/HD (part revised 2010) "with redesigned bushings and
improved grease formula"
The failure here is not with the bushings but with the slop that develops
with using a common soft bolt to secure the ball joint to the steering knuckle.
