    What's your advice on where to get new front upper control arms?

    I've already received one vote for Advance Auto, I think for around $75 each. I'll call anyway --- but couldn't find them online for less than $95 or so. << That is for TRW, so they should be very good. But at that price I might as well get OEMs from Majestic ($123 ea.)

    Auto Zone and NAPA online show nothing at all, but again, I'll call them later.

    And then we get into the cheap stuff, like $35-$45 each. What is that, made in China, and do I care? Would the ball joints they come with be made of plastic (j/k)?

    Also been tempted to go with one of the cheaper kits on eBay but might rather pay a bit more and know WTF I'm getting.

      Well, I suppose I may have seen one of his auctions then. Do you remember his username (from a saved email perhaps?) and about how many miles have you driven since then, etc.?

              I got mine from a guy on ebay. Only complaint is that the bushing is sqeaky but I didnt do the install so I dont know if he oiled it.

                Got mine off ebay. $90 for the set, they've been on for two years, but I haven't driven the car in a few months.
