front lower control arms, whats the difference
I would try to stick with OEM for these parts and go with Moog or something only if its really a great deal and you don't have the cash. Also if u know the bushings on the No2 LCA are cracked u should replace ASAP, since u will need to replace ur Lwr Ball Joint also, and the longer they are bad the more risk to the Lower Ball joint and the wear on ur front tires.

Tough one...
With OEM you know exactly what you are getting. With reproduction it's a hit or a miss.
I've had good luck with MOOG before and they do have their hand in the OEM world too which inspires a bit of confidence.

That's not a bad option if you have access to a machine shop with a press.

You can get the Roca lower control arms and caster bushings for both sides for about $120 or so online. That's 4 replacement bushings. Add in the shop cost to replace the bushings and you should still come in a bit cheaper with installation labor vs buying 4 new oem ones without labor.
YEa im gonna go with OEM instead of Moog, im on stock suspension and plan to always be, i can get 100k miles out of them, the way i drive, that wil be in about 12-13 years lmao, i found oem ball joints for $75 a piece..
