What is the better front control arm manufacturer?

[Ryann]

I got Ocap control arms a year and a half ago and they break in half every day on my way out the driveway:weak:

I haven't had any problems so far with them, they were priced halfway between Meyle and Lemforders

What the fuck are you saying exactly??

Had my wheels off today and noticed i have a bad ball joint. My search so far lead me to the contrary. What year was yours? Did they change arms?

My real life experience>your search so far.

All E30 arms are the same except M3 which are the same but aluminum. My car is an '89 and the arms are still original BMW that i pressed in new lemforder ball joints.

No argument there. Never said i didn't believe you, just couldn't find the info myself within the time/care continuum.

Spent more time looking around for them, You don't have P/N's by chance?

Sorry, no part #'s. I have a good local imported car parts shop and they hooked me up. He assumed i was going to replace the whole arm (most people do) but i like to keep factory parts on my car and control arms don't wear out.

I got the control arm in and I am replacing both the bushings as well. is dish soap really the
best way to get them back on? Its a pretty tight fit.

A lot of hair splitting in this thread.
