Normally my rule of thumb is Electrical = always oem

But to your point, I try to stay genuine as much as possible. But in this instance it seems wild. I went 034 front control arms in January to save 600 dollars, guess who is getting ready to replace the control arms, cars drove 1000 miles on them.
