Cheaper Lower Control Arms

[Ghostrider 310]

If they stand behind the 24 months unlimited miles I can't see how you could lose except for more disassemble / reassemble. It certainly sounds like they do their diligence in development.

There's the 2 key issues ! I have 14,K miles on my URO rear control arms & the right side central bushing is slipping out the top of the arm. It slipped up 1/4" & contacted the trailing arm & the 2 arms have been grinding on each other enough to require replacement of the trailing arm also. I contacted Pelican who I bought them from & was told the URO arms have a 1 year warranty & I should contact the sales dept to buy replacements.
I will be replaceing them with TRW arms.

Well then there you go, if they get bad shortly after warranty then there is no savings, same reason I used to buy Johnson & Murphy shoes.

BY,

Last night I got under my car to check the front suspension and noticed that the lower control arms are manufactured by TRW, this component has never been replaced before and is the way it came from the factory.

BTW, I wanted to thank you for the time you dedicated during my visit to your shop last week, this was the first first time I had the opportunity to closely inspect the internal components of a fully disassembled Porsche flat 6 engine and it was very interesting indeed.

Also it was nice to see a nicely organized and clean shop, it should be a motivation to do something similar to the mess I have on my garage, my wife will be much happier...
