Flat rate is flat rate I didn't mind it as it was super easy to R&R the arms. It took me less than 20 minutes per side to do them.

I used Dorman arms and bushings when I did mine. They look to be decent quality, made in Taiwan parts. Didn't torque anything down until I had the front axle loaded up with my father sitting in the driver's seat to simulate proper preload. I'll be happy to get 4-5 years out of them.
