Default Does anyone know what brand these junk Lower A-arms are?

I bought this set and a set of upper control arms off a guy on craigslist for 250 and ive never seen them anywhere before. I should have known that they were junk by how thin they looked but stupid me couldnt pass up what i thought was a deal.. But they lasted about 4 months before taking a ****.. Just wondering what brand they are if anyone knows?




and after 4 months they turned into this......

I have seen many a-arms but I have never seen one designed like that. With that design and and the tubing sized use I am not too surprised that it broke like it did. If you are interested in a set of a-arms that won't break let me know and I will see what I can do for pricing on a set of BMR a-arms for you.

Pffff, those aren't A-arms, those are Y-arms? Strange design indeed.

They are junk. They didn't crack but they bent like crazy and the ball joints went out within 3 months.. Garbage and a waste of money! I'd love bmr a arms but they're so expensive new.. I only got these because the deal was too good.. Understand why now..

they bend the **** and started to crack bad. good thing you didn't loose the wheels or crash the car and hurt yourself. Price to low to pass up, sounds like a good deal.

The powder coating was cracking, not the metal. He clearly states they are not cracked.
