Anyone have experience with control arms from this company?

those are the generic Chinese specials going around, a more well known company called "dorman" (I think) is rebranding them as their own for 2-3 times the price
I personally wouldn't bother, I just did mine and I considered these, but the amount of labor it takes to re-install them if they go bad is the scary part
I purchased PSB urethane bushings from Armstrong , had my mechanic press them in

How much was the kit? How much was the cost to press them in and install?
This is seems like a great way to go. How are they working so far

"Entire job" is a bit of an overstatement, a competent mechanic is looking at maybe an hour and a half per side. But if you're stuck paying book....
I'm running the upper front control arm from this set on my AWD model and no issues yet. Have the other 6 brand new (only installed 1, removed it once I realized it wouldn't work; rear upper control arm on passenger side) if someone wants to take the others off my hands.

If your a true DIYer The front upper control arms are not that difficult to change out IMO. A 4 on a scale of 1-10. If your not that handy but willing to give it a go It might be a 6/7 out of 10. I went with the Febest complete arms and if they go bad in a year or two I'll just change them out again whenever I have to do front brakes. I think control arms are one of the most overblown repairs on the 460. That's mainly due to the price that the dealer quotes when they start to go bad.
