I've been trying to replace my 981 S front lower control arms due to the "clunk" it makes when taking off from a stop at wheel turn, mostly leaving gas stations for over a year now.
I can't continue to wait forever, but front lower control arms from everyone have been out of stock, maybe discontinued forever at this point.
TRW, Lemforder, Meyle everyone BUT Vaico is backordered with no ETA in North America. There are some available in Europe with $45 shipping each part which is outrageous, but maybe not as I really hate redoing jobs a year later due to a cheap quality part.
I've hard horrible experience with Chinese parts in the past on all my cars and boats I wouldn't even consider them but its either $1800 for OEM Porsche labeled parts or $450 for Vaico with no options in between unless I go International.
Should I continue waiting, pony up for Porsche labeled parts, or Vaico is fine.
