Which front control arms to choose?
Hello,
My new to me D4 probably needs new front lower control arms. Looking at Advanced Factors options there are now several alternatives which ones to choose. When changing at my old D3 it was the Range Rover Sport variety that was favoured. Now I realize that there is also a Meyle heavy duty alternative at a cost (£336). Has opinions changed in favour for this option? Comes with a 4 year guarantee so seems like an alternative to regular changes of lesser quality varieties.
Any experiances?

Hi
Was in a similar position to you. Couldn't land on a decision. Ended up going direct to bay seller who is a steeler in Wakefield. Last set = 60k this should do me the life of this car
I got mixed views on non LR parts but no first hand experience.
Can keep you informed

Just ordered the Meyle heavy duty ones. I only want to change them once so they seemed like a good option.

I'm in the same boat too!
I thought the HD ones looked good, but the Superpro ones are only £9 more.
Cant decide!
anyone running the superpro arms on their D4? Any good?
