Default Moog, doorman ,beckarnley, Ac delco , Movotech all using the same control arms

Ive mentioned this before here , but if you go now to rock autos website you can see it clear as day.

The front , lower, rear controls arms are all exactly the same, with the exact same part numbers stamped into them for the top brands.

They are reboxing the cheapest generic control arms from china and calling them their own.

So we really are kind of stuck when it comes to control arm options for our cars , very few options and its probably a crapshoot as to how long they will last.

This is why I paid a very large premium to go with PSB bushings, but they didn't even last 2 months, and I had to pay extra labour to have them installed.

Its a roll of the dice, take your chances and be sure to post your results.

Yes theres a few companies making them but the longevity is questionable

I also see 2 Ebay sellers listing the same parts as GENUINE OEM LEXUS parts

Wonder how many people have bought them not realizing they aren't oem
