    What brand/model spherical bearings are being used in these? Are they Viton sealed?

    This is nice news and good for consumers as I've heard that the Stern brand one's have been failing. What do you think is the difference between yours and Stern's?

    SPC adjustable control arms are made using maintenance free ball joints and bushings provide factory ride, handling, and NVH performance.

    We carrying SPC brand adjustable control arms. The adjusters are larger diameter (18mm) then sterns, which prevent them from bending.

    I slapped these on over the weekend. Easy install and it firmed up the handling a little bit, as well as reducing some highway vibes - I'm pretty sure my stock bushings were well worn out.

    Thanks BFI!

    I have the vibration as well, will getting just the front control arms fix the issue?

    Do these come with bushings? It doesn't mention anything of the sort on the site.

    Are you asking if they have bushings pressed into the control arms? If so, yes, the bushings are pressed into the control arms.

    As stated already, it depends. In my case, the factory rubber bushings on the chassis side of the arm, were toast. These arms have the same bushing, but since they're brand new they firmed up the car and got rid of some highway vibes...

    No but I intend to soon once I get my car aligned. I want to see how far out of spec my car is before I pull the trigger.
