Hello CL members

It's time for upper control arms replacement. I know oem parts are in the upper $400 each. I did search on google for the good quality ones but not sure which brands are good. I have never replace any upper control arms before so I have no experience. There are brands such as Mevotech ect... Their price are half of the oem ones.

Just wanna know if I should go for oem or any members have any good or bad experience with after market brands please post..
Ur help is greatly appreciated

The aftermarket garbage will last for a year at best. Go with OEM - they'll last 10 years.

If you're lowered, get adjustable uca to help with camber, spc is a good brand, runs 400 for the set

My GS400 is stock. I will keep it that way cuz I live in the midwest with lots of snow. I think its better not to loweer them.

is it ok with SPC uca without lowering?

Get OEM if you plan on staying stock.

Ditto. Learnt my lesson. Lasted a year with garbage aftermarket. Rubber started to perish and subsequently lots of play. The OEM arms I replaced were still good. Put them back on after changing the bushing to Daizen and all good and tight. Definitely go OEM.
