They are the same as what everyone else sells, from the same ONE supplier. Same as if you got them Arnott.
Reading>youSorry about that happening, but how is a wheel weight hitting the control arm boot the fault of SCP?
I'd think it was whomever put the aftermarket wheels on their car and didn't check the clearance, lock to lock, like you should always do with aftermarket wheels especially when changing parts...
Another thing to do is have the tire place use stick on weights that might help with clearance...
So it would have been cheaper, easier and not pissed me off had I just gone ahead and bought from Rock Auto.Not trying to sound like a dick, but I hope this serves as a lesson to the people that insist the Tokyo Tuffy brand is just as good as some of the other aftermarket stuff. Buy t-bird parts, and get moog. Just as good as OEM.
That sucks Laser. My car had OE brand parts on it that were on it when I bought it. They sucked hard. Creaky ball joints 3 yrs after they were installed. But the boots were ALL split like 3 months after they were installed. I just kept adding grease.
Oh I know. I had good luck with his other parts and he swore up and down how great his other parts were and gladly accepted my $700 order. I have spent a couple grand there but wont ever again. Next time I need braces I will just give the measurments of the ones I have and have them made. Dont care if it costs more.Not trying to sound like a dick, but I hope this serves as a lesson to the people that insist the Tokyo Tuffy brand is just as good as some of the other aftermarket stuff.

I am not gonna warrenty them. I will just buy Poly boots locally and get a TRW UCA for the passenger side. After I am done with taxes and blower install I will swap the UCA on the drivers side too.
Glad I dont need any more parts from SCP. Answers my question as to if I was gonna eventually get some headers from there.

I should have canceled the order and followed the advice and bought TRW's. I trusted him that they were just as good or better. He lied. I paid.

Bumping this just in case anyone has forgotten how chitty these parts are. Don't cheap out when your life and ride depend on it.
And how many miles have you put on the car since then? Time means chit, mileage is what matters. Mine lasted about 4000-5000 miles before they failed.Well since your bumping this thread up...............................
I also bought upper and lower control arms from SCP just 2 days AFTER laser bought his......guess what....... mine still look new!!!!!!, no problems with them at all!!!! Now the Moog sway bar end links i bought from Rock Auto sucks d*ck and they need to be replaced already.
Right arm. I must have installed them wrong and prolly just drive the car wrong then.Well in May i already had 5000 miles on them and since then ive added (well my wife has added) anothe 8500 so ive now got 13,500 miles.......

*drives car upside down*I tol' you you weren't supposed to install them on the roof of the car. But as always, you just... don't... listen...
Damned kids, nowadays...
*{clapping hands}* good for you!!! I have never heard of moog being bad at all and rock auto has treated me and a lot of other people good! You and your car must be special
Way to act like a pure azzhole also:wrench:wrench Like stated above its hit and miss with quite a few parts, some brands have a lower failure rate than other brands..... I was just stating my experince with the same damn parts as Laser had with 3 times more miles than what his had, maybe mine came from a newer batch who knows!!!
