Anyone know anything about "NAPA Chassis Parts" control arms?

[Andrew325is]

I was browsing the NAPA catalog and came across these rather beastie looking control arms. Part Number: NCP 2605597. I've already ordered lemforder but I was curious what anyone knows about these.

those... don't look like they are for e30s.

Don't really know. I know a few people who like NAPA stuff a lot, even my dad says they are good parts and he uses OEM everything. Maybe I should try them out, but I don't wanna have to redo everything in a year.

The arms pictured are not e30 arms. I can't speak for the quality though.

its weird. it lists them as being for the e30, and our local napa has them in stock... same size from ball joint to ball joint as the normal ones.... they just look... different...

[e30e]

They kinda look like e36 control arms.

[JoeyBones]

try em and let us know!

those arent e30 control arms, the rear bushing rod isnt round.

[metroya_performance]

I'll get em and find out. i do happen to have worn balljoints so i was looking at buying newer ones. if they work then woo I'll have ugly control arms. and that is weird they are hexagonal shaped..

[e34john]

They probably use generic pictures. Will take a look and see if theres any in the warehouse tomorrow and I'll see if it looks like it should.

Those look like E46 arms, if the rear part where it slides into the lollipop is hexagonal then i'd say I'm almost positive those are e46. Who knows, maybe with a bushing that fits them they'd be an upgrade.

actually check that out, I knew they started making eyeballs for e46, the main page happens to have the eyeball and an e46 control arm on it, that looks identical to the picture OP posted

Is it possible they are just using a picture that is actually another years arm? Is there a "*actual product not shown" or anything like that? Guess the only way to find out is go into Napa and ask to see one.

[guibo09]

the other problem i see is that the arm looks to be aluminium. no way NAPA would make a replacement arm for the e30 in aluminium.

Thats an e46 arm. Just replaced a set yesterday.
