1993 Del Sol Si Front Lower Control Arm Replacement
I damaged my right front lower control arm and it needs to be replaced. Do I need to purchase a new one from a Honda dealership or are aftermarket replacements ok to use?
I am looking to purchase a matching set from:
http://www.clearlyauto.com/catalog/1...rd/Control-Arm
If I buy from a Honda dealership it will cost me $400. If I buy from an aftermarket dealer they cost as little as $150.
They sell several front lower control arms. There are parts from Moog, Mevotech, Karlyn, and CTC. Is one better than the others?
Please help with some good advice.

OEM is usually a bit better quality but in my opinion there's nothing wrong with after market as long as it's bought from a reputable parts distributor. Stay away from Ebay and sites that you're not familiar with. I would suggest buying in person and not online.

Yes Moog has been around forever.
Texas, call Tony1 at http://www.t1racedevelopment.com/
Or PM him ask him if he has anything or knows of a local guy to get a OEM one used.
