So am looking for some good aftermarket control arm but decent $$$. I heard dealers have it for $$$$$$200something, way too much for me.

ebay, member name best suspension something like that. Control arm ~$70 shipped. Excellent quality includes bushing and ball joint. You cant go wrong.

Changing control arm would take about 2hrs first try. Its just bolts (stubborn assss ones)

waiting for my inner tie rod boots to come in, but there excellent quality. I'm holding it in my hands, the ball joint is stiff just like it should be.

Many other org members have gone this route and have enjoyed the decision they made.

The bolts that attatch to the body will require a good bit of torque. Breaker bar/air tools would be a big plus. A pickle-fork will also be required to seperate the ball-joint. That one can be stubborn as well. You can rent different variations from Auto-Zone (or similar parts store).
