Most Liked Negative Review
I'm struggling a bit with this review. I would normally return these but I need them to get the car prepped for a show in 2 days.
The good:
I bought these to replace a pair of older Lower Control Arms from a different manufacturer. They appear to be the right size and shape. Dimensions are pretty much spot on.
The bad:
The welds are pretty low quality when compared to the ones I'm replacing. They have several peaks that have been ground down. I'm seeing some evidence of poor penetration and contamination.
The ugly:
One of the bags has obvious blast media pooled in it. The tubular arm is full of excess media. This has penetrated the ball joint, all bolts and the bushings. I'm going to have to replace the ball joint and the bushings, right out of the box from Speedway.
It's hard for me to recommend these given the issues. If you're ordering and in a crunch, make sure to have some spare ball joints on hand. Again, they appear to be correct, and they save money over the household name, and they should be serviceable if you want to chance the welds. However, I think I'm sending them back.
