Mance's (UrS4) moddified control arms installed yesterday.

All I can say is wow! I had an extremely creaky, squeaky suspension when the car went into the shop, and when the car left the shop, things became very quiet. Granted, this <u>should</u> be the case with new control arms, but with the changes Mance has made to these arms (zerk fittings for regreasing, high temp grease, sealed off boots) I hope to never have to buy another set of lower control arms again. Definitely worth the $$!!

Cheers,

Randy

I only did the front lower control arms...

...since those are the only arms that he can actually tap a zerk into. Seems to be the only ones that were actually giving me any real problems as the noise when traveling over bumpy roads has ceased. I do think my upper arms are going bad, but they're not giving me too much hassle yet.

Mance charged me $220 flat for the arms since I was local. If you're outside of Colorado, count on adding shipping and handling fees on top of that price. It's only been a day since having them installed, but man... What a relief it is to have a quiet suspension again!
