Owner reviews for control arm

I did have to replace the front control arms last year at $1,300.

TRW is the original brand manufacturing the control arms that are sold through VW and you can get those relatively cheap directly from TRW at least here in the US.

My CAs were replaced at around 50k km by my best guess (close to before I got my car). They are Meyle HDs, and no issues here (not that there should be any at this mileage).

I rebuilt my E46 suspension with Meyle HD control arms and they use ball joints at least as good if not better than ZHP ones.

Audi TT and R32 control arms give you the adjustment you’re looking for.

I've put some Meyle control arms on a friend's BMW and they seemed pretty good, and I also fitted Meyle droplinks on mine, so they're probably fine for the upper wishbones.

I purchased from Ecstuning and elected to replace the whole control arm instead of just the bushings which I hear is a very tedious job. I went with the meyle lower control arms because a pair was as much as one of the oem. It is supposed to be more reinforced and heavy duty compared to the oem.

Earlier in the year, I also bought some Detroit Axle control arms, because money was just beyond tight. They weren't amazing, but they weren't terrible either and I'm still driving on them with no problems.

2014 Model S P85D control arm broke while driving home. Tesla repair center won't work on it and claim that it was in an accident and to go through insurance. The vehicle has not been in an accident since I've owned it.

I'm running the Passat arms with RS3 bushings. Honestly, they haven't made a lick of difference other than maybe being a little noisier. There are better ways to spend your money.
