Hey Scotty! I have an automatic 2.4L 2002 Camry with 185k miles that need front control arms. Apparently, I purchased a pair from Autozone about a year ago, and they are already squeaking like mad. Unfortunately, I can't go OEM because they are pricey and even then, the bushings come separately and no shops in my area can press them in. I would appreciate your recommendation for the best brand of control arms.
Thank you!
which control arms? Upper or lower?
Lower
$173 each for OEM Toyota is a bit more than the cheaper ones, but the cheaper lasted 1 year and you're having to spend more time and $$ on top of what your already spent a year ago to replace the control arms. So not a savings going with Autozone ones.
Well, you've seen the results of buying cheap parts for yourself ...
Any of the Moog, Delphi, or ACDelco are reasonably priced (< $100) and might actually outlast your vehicle.
I can’t really rave over them yet, as it has only been a few months. I am trying the mid grade Mevotech control arms on my 1999 Accord. So far so good.
