Anybody have experience with aftermarket front lower control arms? These are cheap but wondering the quality....https://www.ebay.com/itm/Suspension-Control-Arm-and-Ball-Joint-Assembly-TOR-Front-Right-Lower-fits-3/232787919483?fits=Year%3A2007%7CModel%3A3%7CSubmod el%3AMazdaspeed&hash=item36333dc27b:g:fZwAAOSwAaJZ5lRv&vxp=mtr

Also on the rock auto page I see a few diff ones...can anyone comment on the quality of the moog, acdelco or delphis compared to oem? They're a hell of a lot cheaper then OEM and if I can find similiar quality I'll go with those.

I also need an oil cooler as Jimmy said mines leaking. Is this too good to be true? The price I mean lol. https://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-OIL-COOLER-FOR-2006-2014-MAZDA-3-5-6-CX7-MAZDASPEED-LF6W14700/252631093175?fits=Year%3A2007%7CModel%3A3%7CSubmod el%3AMazdaspeed&epid=16021150618&hash=item3ad1fc8fb7:g:H8wAAOSwA3dYCYYo&vxp=mtr

Thanks guys

Go with moog from rock auto. As far as oil cooler I would suggest oem personally. You should be able to find a good used condition one locally. There’s a guy I believe in Hamilton area that parts out speeds. Jp auto or something along those lines. He has some posts on kijiji.

Moog is usually a safe bet although some have questioned their quality as of late. Delphi is a good brand. Have bought several parts from them for several different car makes and never an issue.

I was gonna take a shot at the eBay one. Looks the same as the one on rock auto at least in pics....but way cheaper
