CTR aftermarket Lower Control Arms?

[rubegoldberg]

Does anybody know anything about the Japanese company CTR?

Im thinking of buying a pair of their LCA's rather than trying to redo the bushings on my existing seized LCA's

CQT-4L: FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM: LEFT | CTR

Curious as to what kind of price are you finding for them? I bought used ones from a salvage yard in AZ. Paid about $80 for a pair shipped and they included cam bolts.

Its well known that aftermarket rubber bushings on these are trash. They have so much play not even worth installing and people ended up swapping the bushings.

IMO the best option is find some junk yard ones, rebuild them and then swap them in.

I second the junkyard route. I was lucky enough to find a pair where the bushings were still solid with no signs of cracking. I just swapped 'em in they're still holding up after 20k miles.

That's what I just finished buttoning up. Tonight I'm installing new LBJ's and outer tie rod ends and then getting her aligned. Should be good to go on spending some money on actual mods from this point forward.

I vote against aftermarket lower control arms.
