Upper Control arm thoughts
Hey everyone had a question.
I am in the market for new upper control arms, went to an alignment shop after doing inner and outer tie rods and was told they were bad. Said the toe was out and couldn't get the tires to face in properly.
Figured since the car have over 130k miles on it and they were the originals it wouldn't be a bad thing to replace. Seems easy enough to do anyway.
Wanted to know what you have used to replace your UCA with.
Choices for the poll are:
1 - SPC
2 - Megan
3- ROCA Bushings (didn't see the ball joint for this though)
4 - OEM (average $350-$400)
Let me know your thoughts, its much appreciated in helping me figure out which direction to go in.
I will eventually do BC Coilovers and 19' wheels so might as well do everything right first.
Thanks again

I got rejected in MOT because of front right upper ball joint being loose.
My local dealer (authorized Toyota maintenance/repair shop) is asking for $680 for one UCA!
I think I'll just order the Megans..
They're half the price the dealer is asking for one UCA.

Edit: He gave me the price of the rear UCA's.
The fronts are "only" $560 a piece.
