I always say You get what you pay for I woulnt trust something thats as important as a suspension component i would look in to Skunk 2 and not a cheap off brand you pay a little more but you know it will be good vs this one.. for all you know they could be cheaply made and break after 3 days.. way to iffy for me

1. The bushings most likely suck and won't last long.
2. The ball joints most likely suck and won't last long.
3. The bolts that you use to adjust the camber probably suck (i've heard of them coming loose easily if the area of the arm is poorly designed).
4. It's less likely, but the metal used to construct the arm may be of poor quality and as a result not very strong.
On the up side, the cotter pin is probably safe to use.
Bottom line:
