I was going to refurb a rusty driver side front control arm and replace shot bushings. Turns out its just too pitted for my comfort level. So my options are:

Pull one off a junker. Problem is a few I remember seeing are either lying in dirt/rocks bare nekid on their control arms (yards here dont seem to like to lift 240 up on rims) or like mine project, its been soaked in brake fluid for years from a leaking brake junction box and all the undercoating is gone and its rusted.
I'm sure I could look hard enough and find a clean one. Thoughts?

So I'm thinking option B: buy a new Scantech replacement control arm from FCP. Has anyone used/installed one (or two) of these? And if you HAVE what are your thoughts (quality good, does it seem to be lasting, is it spot-on identical to original...etc.).

TAA (thanks in advance)
