Ebay rear control arms..anyone use them?

[krisx125]

My rear control arm bushings are pretty beat. and i have a ton of wheel hop. While searching ebay came across these control arms for 95$ or best offer. Tubed, powdercoated, and greasable bushings...Do I order some? Was gonna offer 50 and see what he comes back with. I dont drag race, its just a fun cruiser.

If someone gave me a set, I'd toss em in the trash.

Honestly, suspension and or brakes is one place I wouldn't skimp. Everyone has their own opinion, but I wouldn't touch those. Buy a cheap throttle body- you're just limiting power/efficiency, buy a cheap stereo system- it wont sound as good as it could, buy cheap suspension- that could be tragic. I didn't even see a brand name on those or a warranty

They look like Mac control arms.....which are made off shore if memory serves. For whatever thats worth?

That's exactly the set that broke on my friends SCCA road car. He skimped on upper / lower control arms. Our day was cut short after some strong laps. His car was on a trailer (pretty embarrassing). We then installed Steeda adjustable uppers and Steeda lowers. Never had a problem again, he still races it. Pass, Pass quickly on these. You get what you pay for.

I thought the MACs were rectangular, not tubular, but I could be wrong.

I do agree that I wouldn't skimp on suspension though.

You could very well be right. I made my assumption based on the red colour. I can't think of anyone else that sells red control arms, but I guess they could be made by anybody really.
