Hi D8teen, Meyle HD Control Arms with ball joints are excellent, and
Karlyn Tie rods are good. The Lemfoerder tie rods tend to be better. The
ones I purchased were very well made and are doing fine, now I have only
put 7k miles on them so can’t really comment on their longevity. If others
are looking for OE quality look for names like Lemfoerder, Meyle, or Febi,
very nice quality.

Good Luck!

How long did it take to do the entire job?

Great video. Another way to “lock” the ball joints into place before
tightening the nuts is to use a bottle jack to push up from below. I liked
your method for getting the bushing on to the end of the control arm.
Thanks!

So how is that kit holding up? I was hesitant to buy china made, so went
with meyle hd arms and just ordered a Karlyn tie rods.
