[QUOTE="Lowlife_raptor, post: 1251093, member: 23534"] Lots of wrong info here. No1 when your purchase and have a dealership install, or even many qualified repair shops, It comes with a workmanship and parts guarantee. The workmanship warranty covering any defects or poor execution of the labor resulting in other or a repeat repair. The parts warranty covers total failure or failure to the point where the component is no longer performing its task. Eg a smal crack in ambushing is not warranty however a split bushing would be. You are correct a cash and carry purchase will only provide a over the counter warranty to be provided at the sellers discretion. No2. The control arm sold aftermarket is not nessecarlily made of the same materials with the same quality control and or tolerances for fitment. Its gauranteed to not be made identical by the manufacturer of the parts for ford, hence why Ford liscences the production to that 3rd party company. Now a Chinese manufacturer that doesn’t play ball with world lic agreements and will knock off anything very poorly for a buck may claim it’s identicle, and if you feel it is than it’s your dollar. For instance Lexus uses denso a lot, you can buy an aftermarket denso o2 sensor that will work nearly the same but the harness won’t be the correct length or you’ll have to use your own connectors because denso has an agreement not to sell the Toyota/Lexus specs’ parts to any other retailer or wholesaler. That’s IF your buying from the actual manufacturer of the part. Like denso, Bosch , advics ect, in the aftermarket world. But hey what do I know how a dealership operates or the ins and outs of auto repair and parts manufacturers. I’ve only been employed by Lexus for 16 years, am a Lexus Master and DS and also a ASE Master and Advanced level Specialist for 10 of those years. These are just my opinions take em as you want. But like I said I get paid enough to drive a raptor as one of my vehicles for what I know about auto repair. We drive a nice truck that’s not cheap. A hundred bucks on a major component isn’t anything. I don’t have any experience with these particular aftermarket arms, maybe they are great maybe not. But I use rock auto for parts on my side jobs on 3 thousand dollar cars. [/QUOTE]
