GREAT Price on Control Arms

[dirkdiggler]

I see people knocking these FCP/ODI control arms really bad on other BMW/VW fourms saying "they only last like 3k miles and fail" .......... By looking at them do you think the wearable parts are pretty decent quality or would it be a better idea to leave semi worn original ones with 60K on them on the car???

Any info on these before I install them?

don't read too much into it, but i needed a control arm (the ball was worn and jiggling) for ~15k miles. it wasn't any worse than it originally was when i replaced it.
