Lower Control Arm Product recommendations?
Does anyone know of a good replacement for lower control arms that's not the dealership? Does anyone actually make an upgraded lower control arm? Better Bushings, Ball Joints? I see a lot of options nowadays, most items look similar with no real noticeable difference, but usually a huge price differential. Thanks in advance

Whatever you do, just get a OEM like quality brand new arms with preinstalled bushings available at auto house or FCP euro. Go for cheap Chinese crap and you’ll be doing it again in a year.
Also resist the urge to try to do the lower control arm rear bushings while installed on the vehicle, it doesn’t work.

I used the Lemforder bushes. They are good. For lower control arms, save yourself a massive headache and just change the whole arm with bushings already pressed in. I didn't and it was a nightmare. Upper arm bushings are easy to remove and install but not the lower arms.
