Default Mevotech control arms?

http://www.jcwhitney.com/mevotech-oe...412y2008g322j1

Has anyone heard of these? Is there anything to their claim or is it all just smoke and mirrors?

I'm sure they're better than OEM. They are listed on Rockauto for $120.

And don't forget Rock Auto's 5% discount code to get another $6 off of that.

I'd personally spend a little extra and get the Moog control arms. RockAuto also has those, for $150 for left and $184 for right (don't ask me why they're different prices). I'm a big fan of Moog, I've used a lot of their parts over the years, including my Dakota, and when I use them, I know I won't have to replace them again. I've never had to.

I have not heard good things about Mevotech products - I tried tie-rod ends for my daughter's car 1 time and was unable to install them, so I don't use that brand anymore for any of my vehicles. I tend to stick to Moog & Munroe for the suspension parts unless I need some specialty item.

I have had Mevotech Upper control arms and ball joints for 3 years now. No play. Greaseable. I grease them once every 6 months or so.

Bought them because they were cheaper than all the rest and didn't really give a sh*t.
