Small ball joint tubular upper control arms

[65barracudaLA]

I came across these small ball joint tubular upper control arms on ebay. The part number indicates that they are QA1, but the "brand" is GH?! They are quite a bit cheaper than the QA1s, but I wonder if they are junk. Has anyone used these?

It looks like qa1 knockoffs. I don't like that style of control arm cuz there's no adjustability anywhere.

Kanter, the seller has been around a long time. They specialize on hard to find parts for old cars, 30's thru 60's. The advertize in old cars magazine. I can't vouch for the quality of these arms, but they are a reputable seller.

these don't do anything a well prepped stock arm can't do, at a much more economical price point, with the benefit of knowing the quality of the ball joints and bushings.

Thanks for the input, it's about what I expected. I need to replace the upper control arm bushings on mine and was looking into options. I've seen different part numbers for the Moog bushings that give you extra caster - do you know?

I think I figured it out, it's Moog K7103, right?

Thanks, yes, two sets! Hopefully the last expense on my front end rebuild, after replacing upper and lower ball joints, tie rods, lca and strut rod bushings...

It'll be so much better driving with the new parts.
