FCP Groton carries the following two brands of control arms, Meyle or Scan tech.
The meyle goes for $95 and the Scan tech $75. Does anyone have any experience with either of these two on their 850?
Not sure which is better. I have read a few negative posts about Scan tech products recently.

I'd spring for the factory part on a critical application like this. Just my opinion...

I have had good luck with the Meyle products on both Volvo and BMW. The Scan Tech stuff can be ok but it can also leave a little something to be desired.

I replaced mine with Scan Tech and I'm not having a problem of any kind. There does seem to be some debate on their durability though.
