Default Lower control arm

I have to replace my lower control arm. Should I get an aftermarket one or just stick with OEM?

I'd go with an aftermarket - probably BMR. That's what I'm going to go with. If you plan to go FI or to a one-piece DS it will pay off in the long run. Also - I plan to get an adjustable one.

It depends on what you wanna do farther down the road, if u plan on doin some suspension work you might as well go with an aftermarket one. BMR & Steeda are great companys.

You refer to the singular, so if you're going to try another type, make sure you do the pair. Kinda obvious but somebody had to say it.
Also, you don't mention front or rear..... ?

Rear Billits in place. God, the flash really pulls the scuzz out on the underside eh?

I like it a lot. No axle hopping on the street whatsoever and it enables me to actually turn right or left without rolling out of my seat [8D]

I'm sure most of the other suspension packages are great but I like the FRPP as it's all matched and comes in the same box, there's no hunting round for sway bars, bushes, springs, shocks etc from different shops...... Plus of course, Ford don't can't all squirrelly about suspension related warranty issues
