C450/C43 Front lower control arm (spring link) aftermarket replacement availability
Hello
I am currently searching for a replacement part for my lower control arm. There seems to be play.
OE code seems to be A2053308403 or A205330840364.
The independent shop said that Lemforder/Meyle or other manufacturers’ aftermarket parts do not fit correctly and only OE replacement is safe.
The cost for aftermarket part seems to be ~100 euros, OE about 400 a piece.
Has anyone had more luck with this subject or is OE the only way to go?

Ive not done LCA's on our platform yet, but the lemforder ones fit well on others.
They should be the manufacture for the OE, What isnt fitting? Maybe FCP or pelican can point you in the right direction for ones that have been tested?
