This Is Why You Don't Buy Arnott (Or The Like) Control Arms!

[live4brew]

This is after only two years of use. Bushings completely gone. Boots torn wide open. AND both sets (original and replacement the sent under warranty) were a B!!(# to replace!! They are just too wide to easily slide into place. A 45 minute job took 4 hours. The first time I complained about the fitment, I was told by Arnott that I was an idiot...RIGHT. I had to use far more force than should be required to get these into place.

The ten year old arms I pulled out of the car were in FAR better shape than these after only two years. The old bushings and boots were fine. I WISH I had just kept the old ones on, but I foolishly threw them away.

Thanks for the heads-up. Did you go back to Toyota OEM parts to resolve?

I understand Rockautos do OEM Toyota ones for around $180.00 delivered?
