Is there anyone using aftermarket cam bolts from Moog or another company? I've been reading through many threads and it seems like the quality isn't that great on them, I'm wondering if it changed since those threads were quite old. OEM ones are pretty expensive, so wanted to look for a substitute if there is one. LCAs need to be replaced and I'm betting I'm going to have to saw them off due to seized cam bolts.

Some guys on here used the SPC.
Some like them some don't. I don't have any experience with them.

Yeah, I saw those and didn't look so great. I ended up finding some other aftermarket ones from Febest, so for others looking for a cheap alternative, there you go. The quality is also great, comparable to OEM because they actually welded the plate onto the nut, whereas cam bolts from Moog or SPC aren't. It was only $7/each for the parts and the only parts you'll need OEM is the bolt and nut if you end up not being able to get those off. Part numbers are below and can be bought from eBay (febestautoparts-usa).
FEBEST 0129-009 (OEM 48190-60020)
FEBEST 0132-005 (OEM 48409-60020)
FEBEST 0131-002 (OEM 48452-35020)
FEBEST 0131-004 (OEM 48198-60011)
*TIP: For those who have seized cam bolts and will have to cut them off, buy Diablo carbide tipped blades (8 TPI, thick metal), they will cut through them easily. All the other threads I've found had users using cheaper blades and going through several. Also, make sure to put some sort of lube before installing the cam bolts to avoid doing this in the future.*

I just replaced all my CAs and basically the whole front end. The drivers side cam bolt came out fine, the passenger side was seized. I cut it out with a Diablo sawzall blade, and ordered a new one off of Amazon. I took the rest of the CA hardware and used a wire brush and brake cleaner on them and just reused them.
