Default Replacement Upper control Arms

Are any of the replacements on ebay worth buying? Or should I just pony up the cash right now and pay twice as much for a brand name like Moog? Anyone have good luck with ebay replacements?

Yes. Stock replacements. No extra camber needed.

I've been thinking about those $150 ebay kits for about 3 weeks... I just can't talk myself into buying it.

I've used them before, they do the job just fine. One of the UCAs I ordered were just a hair too long and would bang the fender wells when going over big bumps, nothing a little encouragement with a hammer wouldn't fix.

I did the whole ebay kit. I think i have pics of the in my build thread in my sig here. Good quality. It's funny how their price varies, though. When i first saw it it was 200, then it dropped to 150 (when i bought it) then it dropped another 30 bucks to 120.

That's the whole shebang, too. UCA's, lower ball joints, end links, inner and outer tie rods.

question, why are you gonna replace the whole upper control arm. u can get the baljoints seperatly for like 30$ a piece(well where i live you can). the only way id replace the whole arm is if the bushings are shot cuz you cant get them seperate. Only takes about ahalf an hour to change even without the specialty tools. let me no how it goes.
