I would lump URO, ScanTech, Nordic and Unknown all into one poor quality category.

Lemforder/ZF is the OEM manufacturer (like how Bosch manufactures the MAF and O2 sensors).

I recently bought a Deeza form RockAuto.com which I am VERY happy with, but I've only had them for ~4-5 weeks, so not long enough to tell.


I have tried Meyle as well, and found them to be of reasonable quality. Not as good as Lemforder or the Deeza I recently purchased.

YMMV though, as I'm using the 4-bolt control arms, which tend to fail at the vulcanization between the bushings and the rod that goes through them, which is not an issue with the 2-bolt arms.

FWIW those little steering stops have never stayed on very long on any control arms I've ever tried. Even OEM.
