Anyone ever heard of them?

Saw on Amazon they had a set of front lower and front upper control arms for sale including a 10-year warranty on the parts.

Lowers:

Uppers:

Also on eBay they have a 10pc front suspension kit for sale (everything minus struts, springs and rack & pinion boots & bellows)

I haven't driven the MM in 2-3 months since I started hearing some popping sound while turning coming from the passenger side I planed on overhauling the whole front suspension. Just trying to find out if this is a sucker price for crap parts or just a good deal. Just want to bring the car back to factory ride quality.

You can purchase AC Delco Pro for the same money on Amazon.

That is a lot of work to gamble on parts. Warranties on that kind of stuff are worthless, the only value is in quality built into parts that last and don't make you do the same job twice.

From the pictures I have seen, no they don't.
