Tom,
I personally had a bitter experience with Myele (or
was it Lemfroder) 
brand control arms. The OEMs had served for 7 years,
the replacements 
were done in 2. The rubber bushings and ball joint
dust boots split up.

I would go with TRW or Febi/Bilstein

 Igor, I think you are rite the first time with the
Myle control arms being junk! The lemforder ones only
come in 17mm not the 19mm ball joint these cars take.
After an extensive search fer the Lemforder's &
knowing as you stated that the OE ones lasted many
many years, & after haveing to replace the Myle ones
after only a couple of years I went with the TRW's.

 When I replaced the OE control arms on my ol 87 5kq I
got the Lemforders & they lasted 7 years! Don't know
why they don't make the 19mm ones?!

 & I've never heard of the Karlyn ones.

 Thanx
Ron
