    Front Upper Control Arms

    Here are some new control arms I found on Rock Auto . They are Moog CK80040 and ck80038. Tell me what you think. The only reason I need to replace mine the boots are torn.

    Are these better than the stock one's?

    I'd go with the forged arms.

    Looks like this:

    They are stamped and reinforced. Moog say that is the new improved one's. Look at the pictures I posted.

    I have the stamped steel units on my DD.
    Absolutely zero difference in feel, etc from the forged units.

    While swapping out the drivers side ball joint on mine tonight I noticed the upper ball joints were torn and the bushings at the ends were cracked to hell. I just ordered the MOOG RK80040 and RK80038's. Also my sway bar end link was hammered so I picked up a pair from vatozone. (couldn't wait need the car tomorrow). The uppers look to be cake to change.
