Replacement upper & lower control arms?
I'm shopping for replacement (stock) upper & lower control arms for a C10.
I haver found prices for arms range from $40 to $150 each. Is there any difference in quality between manufacturers "Dorman", "Mevoech", Moog", "Replacement", or "LMC"? Which manufacturer give the most bang for the buck? Thanks |

Re: Replacement upper & lower control arms?
I got a Raybestos upper conrol arm form my 83 C20 and I think it was about $120 (the cheapest I could find at the time). It did not have the keyhole slot for the clip for the brake line, so my installer had to hog one out to make if fit.
If I bought another one I would spring for OEM, AC/Delco at one of the online vendors. I think the aftermarket suppliers use a "one size fits all" policy and that is not what I want. I always check the following for OEM parts: autopartstomorrow.com davesdiscountautoparts.com (just bought my Delco brake booster from them, so I don't know about part quality yet.) oehq.com oewarehouse.com rockauto.com gmpartsdirect.com I have used all of these with good results, and I also check Amazon and Ebay just to see if somebody else has a good price. Use Rock Auto to get the official GM part number. I have listed the suppliers above in order of ascending price, based on my experience. I use OEM parts whenever possible based on bad experience with aftermarket, although I have had some good aftermarket parts here and there (like a steering box and steering pump for AutoZone many years ago.) |
