Long story short I hit something on the freeway, hit the control arm. And the are telling me i need a new one, its pretty damaged.

Anyone know some good aftermarket arms for the GD3?

Yeah O.E.M. is the way to go, cheeaapppp. Aftermarket adjustable ones will run you a lot more, and you would have a buy a set obviously, vs. fixing the one broken arm-

Yea agreed, but i have always been the type that if it breaks, fix it with something better. I just Bought one from the dealer. OEM is indeed the way to go, wouldnt replace with anything other unless aftermarket amazingness! hahaThanx for the input guys!

Salvage yards offer lowest cost.

i have a creak and croak when coasiting under mild bumps and when slowing and starting from launch. I'm pretty sure its the LCA that needs replacement but question is should i replace both left and right or just the suspecting side? Do I need an alignment after replacing the LCA?
