Hello Everyone,
At 175k miles and 2 seasons on 315's, I fear the original rear upper control arm in my car is absolutely toast. I have been doing some research on replacing it and have come up with some thoughts/opinions/criteria.
The following is my criteria:
1.) Effectiveness at improving feel and stability of the rear end
2.) Durability
3.) Serviceability
4.) Streetability (Car has a rollbar and no rear interior, so this isn't a huge deal at this point)
What I am looking for is a durable, effective, set it and forget it solution. That's also still street-able. I am lazy, and gasp at the thought of people who replace/inspect parts "every season".
Given this criteria, am I mad to think the multimatic arm seems like a genuine solution? For those of you that have this arm, what is the service life of the spherical bearing? Is the NVH unbearable? Any noticeable difference compared to the more "normal" options out there? (Roush 3rd link, steeda, BMR, etc.)
What setup would you do if you were in my shoes?
I look forward to your replies!
