Default Anything wrong with Meyle control arms (comes with new ARB rubber mounts and the inner mount)?
DIYAutoparts has both sides for $75 and $78, the recent snap of cold weather + heavily rutted, pot-holed ice roads nearly took out both ball joints. Left is <i>far</i> worst than right thanks to a deeeeep hole in the ice that was slightly larger than the tire. Couldn't avoid it.

Default I hear they're suspect...
However we put some Meyle control arms in Dans car this summer. No problems yet...

Default Had the choice of Moog, Girling, Meyle, and Lemforder. Opted for the Girlings, significantly
less than the Moogs and Lems, but should be better than the Meyles and were only $15 more/pair.

Thanks Steve, the Girlings were barely more expensive, so I went with them.
