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!

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?
