Thread: any recommend shop for D4 lower control arm replacement in Sydney?

I notice they didn’t replace the bolts - not a great idea

Keep an eye on those arms with Poly bushes - even though I am a huge fan and user of SuperPro, I still will not run them in the lower arms.

Seen several metal fatigue cases now on that arm and mount point due to lack of flex and reduced arc on that joint.

Wouldn’t trust those Chinese ball joints either - visual inspection won’t be any indication of metallurgy and I’ll bet Chinese eBay parts will be Chinesium at best.

Agree Tombie, have the superpro adjustable rear sway bar links fitted, but took out the superpro sway bar bushes, simply too harsh. Might be ok on upper and lower arms, but would be a much firmer ride.
