Has anyone used these control arms?

I've searched and seen that people have used their ball joints, but nothing in regards to the arms. They are $34 each with the joint. There are no reviews so I thought I would see if anyone here has used these.
My DS ball joint is ripped so I figured I would replace both upper control arms and possible the lowers since I would be neck deep in grime anyways.

I saw someone had used their lower control arms. I believe he felt there was a lot of corrosion on the stock ones, if I remember correctly, and was doing some other upgrades to the suspension at the same time. You might search lower control arms and send him a p.m.

Dont even think of it! Very very awful quality of metal and rubber!

Poor quality made in China item. Not to bash made in China item, there are quite a few of great quality made in China item. But this is not one of it. Was thinking to carry the Febest control arms too, but decided not to after looking at it. You can either rebuild it with OEM bushing and Japan 555 ball joints, buy new OEM arms or replace with Febest arms.

I ordered them and will take a look. I can always return. I looked at replacing all the bushings and ball joints but I don't have access to a press and those parts added up to more than double the febest arm cost (which contains the same bushings). I might try them out and hang on to my originals just in case. I'm not doing any serious off-roading, just trying to give the suspension a good refresh on a budget.

Thanks for the info though.
