    From personal experience.

    Also, get used to the "check engine light" - it stays on all the time to tell you the car is running

    guys,how do you think the price for the VW control arms contain 8 control arms,2 tie rod ends,2 stabilizer links with all screws and nuts at 120USD without freight? The manufacturer give me one year full warranty for 50,000 kilometers.And the manufacturer comes from China,mainly for aftermarket.

    Do you have any suggestion?
