vs
Control arm MEYLE or OEM Subaru
Reviews
I still like the original bushing and not the solid one. I like the idea of having my control arm play well for the up and down motion thus making the car ride better (kudos to vw engineers). my original bushing lasted around 8 years (not bad) and by that time I could hear some squeaky sound (no more squeak now) so I replaced it with the same type of bushing but not the expensive vw part.
Pros: car ride better
Cons: squeaky sound
I got just the upper Meyle HD control arms from FCP when I replaced my front shocks and they are good quality.
Pros: good quality
I've used them (control arms, ball joints, strut mounts (only on street cars), wheel bearings, etc) for years without any problems. Granted I only log about 3000 miles/year on one of the cars but it takes a fair share of abuse during those miles and I haven't yet broken a ball joint or a tie-rod end.
Pros: no problems for years
Mileage: 3000 km
