The $25 China joint you seem to be defending has the joint you are arguing against, if that didn't come across.


My understanding is that OEM uses a plain rubber bushing/sleeve on the inboard end, not a spherical joint, and that the cheap control arm also uses rubber, which is what I want. If that's not the case, then you are correct in that this is all academic. Still, regardless of what is used at the inboard end, the $25 arm does have the eccentric bolt and washers and the tabs for them to ride against, so it's still a relative bargain for what functionality I'm looking to gain. Since no one has apparently used the Ultra-Power brand, I guess I'll be cutting edge again. lol
