You get what you pay for
Like I said the Mopar ones have better bushings
I tried a set of the cheaper ones and they lasted but a few months, turned it back in for warranty and same thing. Went back to MOPAR and no issues
so the answer is......spend the money and buy the better ones
my :2cents:

As I saw here, you are one of the ones to say things as they are... so, i'm going for the expensive ones... :)))

Thank you!

tommud,

without wanting to be annoying, just another question:
for the lower arms, wouldnt be better (pricewise) to get the bushings only? or there is a difference in the arm itself?
i guess the tri link i will get it one piece...

thanks!
