[QUOTE="Lowlife_raptor, post: 1251057, member: 23534"] The upper control arm is just a black control arm. The aftermarket may have slight variations, it may not. It’s kinda tuff to tell unless you have em in hand. Also aftermarket stuff tends to change rapidly from my experience, almost like the suppliers change a lot for the aftermarket companies. For example you’ll buy an aftermarket arm, the bushings could be black. You buy another in 6 months it may be a red bushing.... if that makes sense? As a professional auto tech, in my opinion oem is always better unless your buying a true upgrade aftermarket. A true upgrade won’t cost less than a oem item 99% of the time. I personally won’t use non oem parts unless the price different is more than double, and fiitment or tolerances aren’t critical. From my experience aftermarket stuff works fine, but I see a lot of noise or quality complaints related to aftermarket parts with my brand Lexus. [/QUOTE]
