FCP Euro vs RockAuto - Fitment Issues?

Just ordered a left and right control arm set from FCPEURO for my 07 S600. My indy, upon installing pointed out to me that the part was not fitting properly at the point of connection where arm meets the strut.






The part #

I recently purchased inner and outer tie rods from Rock Auto (Suspensia brand) and was disappointed when the outer fit perfect but the inner tie rod was not the right size (was slightly bigger than original part evidenced by it not fitting the inner rod racket socket used to remove the old part).

To be honest, I kinda went into the RockAuto purchase with an open mind since the parts were so cheap but with FCP Euro I’m a bit bothered since I feel like they are on a higher tier compared to RockAuto in my opinion.

Has anyone had fitment issues with FCPEURO or RockAuto?

Is one better than the other when it comes to sourcing steering and suspension parts?

Thanks
