Upper control arm, difference in quality?
I need to replace my left upper control arm, I can get one from the dealer for $69 but I find one on Ebay for $33; would this one have the same qaulity as the one that comes from the dealer?
The one on Ebay

Remember that they are left and right specific. Be sure to also get the bushing kit, they fit in the large hole and must be replaced. They are sold seprately......

Are those the bushings that hold the swaybar?

Yes, they are the swaybar bushings. The bushing you see in the pic of the item is pressed into the alum arm. The swaybar bushings see alot of wear.. I think I paid $7ea (need a total of 4) 2 years ago.....

Good, I already bought those by accident. Ordered the sway-bar bushings that go behind the brake-booster and the battery, but they gave me the ones for the upper control arm.

Let us know what you think of the part and how the deal goes. I'm always concerned about sellers who don't give a brick and mortar address or phone number.
