I just replaced my control arms with TRWs (OEM supplier) from Pelican. Unquestionably a nicely made product that I expect will last 80k miles like the originals.
If my wrench time (and safety) were worth zero, then I'd be all over the $100-$180 "savings" from buying these Chinese parts. This is probably the same stuff Deutsche Parts peddles on eBay that buyers ******************** like crazy about. In my experience with other European cars, mostly BMWs, this low-buck stuff just doesn't cut it. Sure, I want to save a buck like most people, but I always stick with OEM or near-OEM quality, shop a bit for price, and buy from a trusted supplier.
