I change my front lower arms every year/12.000km ish, they carry the entire brunt of the acceleration/braking force, and just simply don’t last. Atleast they’re cheap and easy tho!

Do you lean on a lifetime warranty, or do you just buy new ones each time?

Warranty would require paying a certified mechanic to install them, so new arms each time. They’re only 19$ a side, while a bushing kit is a bit over that and way more hassle...

What do you drive that has $19 LCAs? Mine cost about $75 each, with non-replacable ball joints.
