    I need control arm bushings! I can't take the clunking anymore and I'm going to replace them in October before winter. Instead of doing just the bushings since its such a pain in the a$$ i've heard ppl suggesting to just replace the whole control arm for a little more money. I need opinions on where to order my control arms/which brand to get? anybody know?

    I looked at the ones at the W body store. Are the "performance" control arms really that much better than the stock replacements that they sell? Wondering if its worth the extra 70 bucks

    How are the Dorman's? They seem like they are the cheapest ones? Have you ever ran them/ has anyone? I just don't want sh*t quality to save a few bucks

    I have one on my grand am right now. They are good quality, out of all the ones I have put on at work I have only had one come back, because the ball joint was loose after a year, but was covered under warranty.
