Default Upper control arm replacement options

It looks like the ball joint on my UCA is going out and since they don't sell just the ball joint I need to replace the whole thing. A search did not yield very many results on options for replacing this so I'm wondering if I should just buy an OEM UCA or if there is an aftermarket option that's better.


Thanks.

Isn't the SPC cheaper and provides more adjustability? Ask the member that are currently using it and see how stable the adjustments are. I wonder if it shifts after a while.

I know it has more adjustability but I could only find it being sold for 400+ and my cost on an OEM UCA is under 200. I'd love to go aftermarket assuming the price isn't that much higher than OEM as I don't plan on lowering the car much more than it is now.

Check the vendor section. They are selling a pair much lower than that. Question on oem, are you getting the pair for under 200?

Single. I'll check the vendor section now.
