I would echo the sentiments above and stay far away from cheap control arms & ball joints. I got burned in that area with a different car a number of years ago. I installed a cheap kit including control arms, tie rod ends, and sway links, and literally every rubber boot failed (cracked open) within 2 weeks and the ball joints themselves failed with less than 5k miles on them. Got a warranty refund and replaced them with name brand parts and haven't had any problems since. When it comes to suspension components, you usually get what you pay for. You also have to recognize the limitations of online reviews. You may find a super cheap set of control arms that has great reviews, but people typically review products right after they install the parts, not after they have 5k, 10k, 20k miles on them.
