How Are Ebay Control Arms?
I need new lower control arms and bushings, they are like 180 apiece at dealer but on ebay only 105 for a pair. I was wondering how these were?

The company looks legit...but whenever I need to purchase parts that could end up killing me if they fail, I usually buy OEM.

I'd buy them direct from FCP's website personally. If these are the Febi German aftermarket arms they are fine, I have installed a couple pairs and they have a better ball joint than the OEM LMI version and they are about half the price. I have a set on my X5 and they are a great product.

So stupid question how would you know your control arms are bad? My 2001 X has 35,000 miles.
