I'm going to have to replace the front control arms on my '92 245 (the left one is actually broken and the right is about to go). Was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts/opinions on using aftermarket replacement CA's that can be found at FCP Groton or maybe even ebay. They run around $75 each. I can get OEM replacements from eeuroparts, but they're literally twice as expensive. I'm on a budget here as I'll also be replacing the front breaks, ball joints, and while I'm in there I'll likely swap out most bushings for poly. Given that I can potentially save $300 by getting aftermarket vs. OEM CA's, just wanted to know if anyone had any feedback on these parts, or thoughts about quality issues, etc.?

Thanks in advance.
