Non OEM control arms
and non OEM wheel bearings. both have a high likely hood of failure and will only cause you a bigger headache, its your car spend the money.

Which non-OEM control arms did you go for? I'm buying the Meyle kit from FCP. Reason why is in this post.

I heard that you should stay away from Scan-Tech for parts. I don't have any Scan-Tech pats myself except for the euro lens.
