Warning!!! crappy LCA on amazon.

Hello Lady's& Gentlemen,

A word of a warning. I got a pair of lower LCAs from Amazon and I thought I got an awesome deal. Until I realized that after repairs my steering wheel is not turning all the way to the right. After inspection I found L/S arm balljoint flange was installed incorrectly before welding and is protruding by 0.5 inch further than it should. So angles for caster/camber were messed up. I'm not even sure how alignment shop corrected that. Anyway, here is a link on Amazon.

Even without any measurement tools you can see the difference on the pictures between left and right side.

I've heard too many horror stories about non-OEM lower control arms.

I went OEM and have not regretted it.

Don’t count on it being posted. I tried to leave negative review on some headlights I bought on Amazon, and was blocked from adding it. Only the good reviews were allowed. I’ve had some real sketchy experiences on Amazon this year and no longer trust them the way I once did. When I ordered my Powerstop brakes, I ordered the fronts through Jegs on Amazon because they were the only vendor that showed them as “in stock”. Well, it took almost 3 months, and countless phone calls to finally receive them, all the while driving on a seized caliper.:flamethrwoer2: Amazon was zero help and said they have no control over any products not fulfilled by Amazon. They could not even explain why it continued to show “in stock” even during the months I waited for them! Jegs was also zero help, other than calling Powerstop and confirming they were indeed backordered. They kept giving me false expected ship dates every time I inquired. I was offered to cancel the order several times, however I had already installed the rears, and had the front rotors and pads in my possession. Finding another set of matching powder coated calipers wasn’t going to be super easy, and once I had significant time invested in waiting, didn’t even make sense as it would have been a ton of wasted time. I was truly between a rock and a hard place!
