Long story short...I ran into a ditch this weekend and grazed a tree. Totally bent the control arm. Now, I need to get a new one fast. None of the local stores (Advance, Autozone...) carry this part. The dealer has it for 208.98 but wouldn't get here for at least a week. Any good recommendations where to get a new one? I am about to try junk yards locally, but I am hesitant to buy one from a junk yard, thoughts on this? Thanks for the help!

 

ebay. or just rent a car while it ships. if you're too young to rent a car, ask your parents to do it.

 

That would be really expensive to rent a car for a week...I did find one online and could get it shipped overnight for 198.00, I might end up doing that...

 

Just get it new. $198 shipped overnight is REALLY good for a new part.

 

send a message to the ebay seller "world suspension" I belive thats his name or search on e-bay for maxima control arm and the guy with his pic on a green background. He is a great seller with good products. Send him a message and he maybe able to help out, his control arms are about $60+ $25 overnight shipping = ~$85 cant beat that.

 

PM internetautomar (no its not a typo). His name is Brian- he'll get you one at the same price as Ebay and for a nominal fee will overnight it to you. He's very active on the 3rd gen forum and I bought all my front end stuff off him (inlcuding LCAs).

 

wat side do you need...I have the drivers side. I purchased it from the ebay seller "world suspension" Let me know

 

bump!

Shoot, I've got a pair in my garage with 130k miles and some surface rust, but have good bushings and are in fine working condition. FedEx or UPS would have had them to you in a day. Then you can take your time and get a newer control arm.

There is a guy on Ebay that sells good Control Arms for our cars. Theyre pretty fair in prices too.

 

if i have to replace my balljoint should i just replace the entire control arm?

 

yes
