Most Liked Positive Review
Not as difficult as I was expecting
As was the original equipment, this is a substantial piece of steel. The bushings look better built than the OEM ones. One thing missing is a grease fitting for the ball joint. If you have trouble removing the old unit due to rust, etc, and because most manuals tell you to replace the hardware, it would be better if these were included with the part.
Most Liked Negative Review
so far so good
As stated previously it would be nice to have gotten new hardware (nuts and bolts) to reinstall how much more would it add to the price I would gladly pay a couple dollars more for the new hardware.

Appears to be OK with 3 days in use, it would have been nice to have supporting hardware i.e. (new Bolts/Nuts).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
