Do not buy them! I had a set of aftermarket ball joints and steering rods, they didnt even last a year. They had more play with them after a year than original parts after 12 years.

MEANDAFAKA

then i assume just go and get the original arms, since they last much longer

I've been running the Arnott industries upper control arms for about a year now and Boompa has had his in for nearly 18 mths and they are still in excellant nick , they have made these using the same heime type bush on the top two and a brand new ball joint , even if they only last 3 years they are 4 times cheaper than the genuine article so would still be fantastic value .
As a note I get a bit fed up with people who trash a product and haven't even seen one let alone actually tried one !!!!!
Very poor form .
Personally i think the mods should stomp on it .

Ive had mine for almost a year now, daily driven, with air bags... in pothole city California, never had a problem with my Arnott's. Go for it.

MEANDAFAKA

okay, so i took a look at those arms. and they are pretty much like a reman. type arms, right??

richonenz

No not you , I was having a poke at Och !!
As to reman not really , it's the ball joint and the bushes that wear not the arm itself , so old arm new bushes and new ball joint , as it is said " JUST DO IT "

MEANDAFAKA

will do, as soon as i come back from my training and my job in like a year. my car will be sitting for a year, so sad.

There is a post of someone at another forum who bit at the "it's super cheap compared to OEM" line and less than a year it was already clunking at the UCA again...they said never again.

Just get the Arnotts.

With 350 000KM on possibly the original control arms and feedback saying a not so long life on the arnotts peices . I am going to double the price and pay for OEM fitment and reliability.
Arnotts are nice if i want to sell my car or be cheap about it . It is expensive but i am keeping my car for a long time.
