So, long story short got my car from Carmax on Aug 30th and they replaced the front driver side control arm.

in looking at their work and comparing it to OEM parts on passenger side they are different.

Their work has the blue ring around it.

Did they cheap out and or put the wrong parts on ? I assume what they did is not OEM, obviously, but what they did put on, will that work ?

 

it is not oem.. look at pictures for mevotech and other brands on rockauto and see if they match. Oem factory part for these are not any better than after market ones as far as I can tell
