Control Arms replacements

[AlexJet]

Did anyone had any experience with OEM replacement suspension parts?
Need Rear Upper Control Arms. Dealership is asking $200 each. Aftermarket replacement are $50. They have "Dorman" or "Movetech". For a 25% price it's a good deal, but what about quality and logetivity? Both features OEM style rubber bushings, not sure how long they would last.
Scrap yards are selling 10 years old with 200k mileage parts for $75. Those are rusted and with associated wear of the age and mileage.

I don't see anyone selling his stock UCA...

Rebuild them with polly bushings. Still have the oem arm but polly bushings, no press needed just burn out, clean them and put in the new pollys, cheap and easy.

I think Moog has replacement rubber bushings for our rear UCAs which should be the best bang for the buck. All of my bushings were shot due to the high mileage so I found a set of LCA + UCA from a FJC with 40,000 miles. But, if I weren't able to find a set of OEM links, I'd have simply gone the way of Moog rear UCA bushings. I used Moog on the front LCA and really like them.

You can see pics of the Moog in this thread, should be similar for the rear UCA bushings: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-g...upgrade-lca-bushing-swap-bilstein-6112-a.html
