Does anyone else sell this part? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72gmcshorty · 03-29-2011, 11:56 PM

I am looking for a repro lower control arm. I found it at LMC. How is the quality of this piece? Do any of the vendors sell this part?

piecesparts · 03-30-2011, 12:07 AM

Would it have to be a new one? Why not a replacement form a yard?

72gmcshorty · 03-30-2011, 12:54 AM

none available around here....tried already

depends on who you get your parts from the rockers I got from Brothers are all stamped with "MADE IN USA" whare the rockers I've got from LMC said "MADE IN CHINA"

the rockers from Brothers were also heavier and had a better fit then the LMC rocker

I aslo prefer to support american enterprises firm beliver of Buy American Support America

Brothers manufactures a large amount of the parts they sell and therfore can better control the quality of the parts they sell

and yes I know LMC doesn't make thier own parts so they don't have any say in quality control and that is why thier parts suck witch wouldn't be that bad if they had decent customer service witch they don't so as I said earlier LMC SUCKS

*Shane* · 03-30-2011, 01:40 PM

Can you show a pic of these Brother's "Made in the USA" rockers and the decal/stamp that states they are "Made in the USA" ?

Thanks.

71gmcburb · 03-30-2011, 02:04 PM

Didn't take any pics and they are already installed and primed. sorry

When my drop kit gets here I'll take pics of those

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-30-2011, 02:05 PM

The only made in the USA rockers for these trucks are the Genuine GM rockers and you will know that by their price. All others are made in Tiawan. There are 5 different manufactures in Tiawan and not all qualities are the same. Brother's does have a lot of their own parts manufactures, but so does LMC, and so do I. You just need to be able to weed through the bad parts to find who sells the best. That is what we try to do and is why we are not always the cheapest price. WES

71gmcburb · 03-30-2011, 02:33 PM

I spent a little over $200 for all three rockers so you tell me it was over a year ago when I installed them and if I remember right they had a GM logo on the sticker

ive never used your parts yet but I will check them out Its also nice that you are somewhat local

*Shane* · 03-30-2011, 02:52 PM

so, what you're saying is, you don't know for sure if they were Made in the USA or not ... right?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-30-2011, 03:05 PM

At that price I am sure that he got Genuine GM. Those are made in the USA. WES

71gmcburb · 03-30-2011, 03:20 PM

yes i rember them saying "made in USA" I was surprized when I saw that as I was under the impression that no aftermarket body panels were made in the USA

72gmcshorty · 03-30-2011, 09:13 PM

so does anyone have anything to say about the control arms?

**leddzepp** · 03-30-2011, 09:34 PM

www.truckandcarshop has the best price I have found as well.

beautimus · 03-30-2011, 09:53 PM

i have the upper control arms from lmc, they fit fine, seem to be the correct gauge as the factory ones, and the stamping looks factory. I havent gotten my truck on the road yet so i can't say about duribility, but so far so good.
best of luck to you, Tony

72gmcshorty · 03-31-2011, 06:23 PM

When u call u actually talk to Scott. I got my bumpers and brackets and mirrors from him. Shipped with greyhound. good experience with him.

Also try my friend Russ at Hot Rod Corner in Cloverdale/Surrey https://hotrodcorner.com/

He's a little closer to North Dehli so try him first

1LoC10 · 03-31-2011, 07:47 PM

I have never seen a replacement panel stamped made in china

**passthebuck** · 03-31-2011, 08:36 PM

I second Scotts' Super Trucks. Whenever I swing through Alberta, I make a stop there. Scott does do used parts as well. He has a yard full of our trucks in various states. Call him with your used part requests as well.
