I went with the Beck-Arnley parts from Rock. I don't know if the weight savings is worth the 50% price premium, but they look really cool. My mechanic said they were the easiest to install of any control arms he's done.
Owner reviews for control arm
The control arms I got were really well done, and after 20k miles, I've had 0 issues.
My 23LR was taken in for an interior squeak (20k miles) and on inspection Tesla replaced the upper and lower control arms for free. They said they noticed wear. car drove perfectly and i inspect the suspension regularly all looked good, but who am i to argue with new suspension parts. also got an alignment too of course.
I've swapped out the control arms for Meyle HD ones. Solid forged aluminium instead of hollow steel.
Get Moog or Mevotech Supreme and install them correctly - torque to spec with the LCA under load - and they're gonna last a good long time.
As a former analyst for an auto parts distributor... Moog was the most popular and better quality for control arms that we sold across the country. AC Delco was 2nd...
Control arms Moog all day, only the Moog control arms made in Germany. If they are made anywhere else they are trash! Moog control arms made in Germany I cannot vouch enough for them!
After warranty expired, only issues were paid for was upper control arm replacement in the front because of squeaks and tail light went out because water got in.
I recently put 2 Detroit axle control arms on my 2010 Mazda cx9. They felt solid and lined up correct. The bolts for the oem ones didn’t fit, so I had to buy new bolts and it negatively affected the caster as well. If I turn all the way to the left the sway bar hits the wheel weight. So now I will be buying another set of control arms.
I went ahead and upgraded to the 1M/M3 control arms (all 4 arms on the front were done). I finally got the car up to speed this morning and the issue is still just as bad as it was before I had the work done.
