Default Control Arms? Does this kit look acceptable?

Spawned from crew219 posting a link to www.getcoolparts.com.

I saw this <a href="http://www.getcoolparts.com/item.wws?mfr=MEYLE&sku=VWW078776&price=562.25&orpa rtno=1618050&cookieID=1OW0RS9IG1OW0S63VU&drillid=9 ?=http%3A%2F%2Fcatimages2%2Esophio%2Ecom%2Fwebapp% 2Fwcs%2Fstores%2Fservlet%2Fimc%2Fimages%2Ffull%2F8 E0498500MY%2Ejpg">kit</a>, and was wondering if it was acceptable?

I thought I recalled someone saying Meyle was good?

It seems cheaper than the other kits I've seen.

I wish there was a decent way of diagnosing control arm failure.

Default Pass on Meyle - they've been failing in 6-12 months. My Meyle tie rod ends failed after 9 months

Do a search on Meyle control arms for more info

Look for Febi-Bilstein or Lemfoerder control arms and S4 OEM tie rod ends. Check pure-motorsport.com

Good luck

Default Why pay that much for Meyle. You can get Febi for less from PureMS, no?

BTW, Febi or Lemforder is the only way to go.
