Rear Control Arms, Price Check

[RedRider3141]

So I've been reading up on the "Death Wobble" In responce to some rear end clunks and a little high speed shimmy and I came accross some Dorman Trailing Arms for $80 a peice at Autozone. Anybody have any experience with them, are they decent? Would I be better off just buying the OEM ones or good poly bushings?

You're better off buying poly bushings IMO, for $80 a piece I think bushings would be cheaper, and would last a lot longer.

I just bought both rear arms from Rock Auto for a little less than $110 shipped. Haven't installed them yet, so no review on them, but they look good.

So after some more time and more miles I am finally looking into doing the rear control arms. I found the same Doorman Arms on Amazon for $50 per arm so $200 total plus tax for all four. That is about the same as the split bushings but with out the added labor of removing my old bushings.

 

My question is: For a pavement pounding 150,000 vehicle is it worth the effort to go Poly? To be honest if the doorman arms got me another 50K miles, I'd be happy. Will they last that long?

Personally, I'd go with the complete arms. For $200 you can't go wrong.
