Good Deal on OEM lemfoerder control arms(tension strut)
 
I found a good deal on OEM control arms(Tension Struts) at car-stuff.com. I used the coupon code spring2010 to get 15% off $200. I ended up paying a total of $212.00 shipped for 2 OEM lemfoerder control arms. I just recieved the control arms today.

Check it out, it is a very good deal since each oem control arm is around $160.

any updates?

I got them really fast with regular shipping(2 days). I installed them but while I was working on them I realized I need alot of things replaced especially my endlinks. They were brand new in lemforder packaging. I didn't feel much of an improvement since alot of components need replacing. It's a good deal though.

ya they r a good deal, but am worried about quality wise too, wat else u need done to ur X besides that. or wats ur symptoms that ur getting, cause i might have the same issue and need some ideas as well.
i just did front brake pads & rotors and both wheel bearing in the past month and now am getting vabiration when goin over 45mph. and havent checked it yet

Sorry man that's tough, my problems are not vibrations, they are clunking sounds over bumps at slow speeds. Did you put new wheels or tires on your car? What you can do is Jack up one side of your car remove a wheels and look at all the suspension components and also look at bushings and ball joints, but I don't think that these cause vibrations. Did you do any work to your car before this problem started?

but i did notice a clunkin sound over bumbs at slow speed even sometimes when am goin over a driveway at home. i dont think my wheels r the cause i got em last summer, and i just put them on about a month ago and everything was fine. i have to jack it up and check, i just want to get and idea wat too look for before i raise it and also get some parts idea(price /quality wise) so i can order em right away.

The clunking sounds over slow bumps are endlinks. Replace those if you haven't before.

Are 'end links' another name for CV boots?
