Hello All..I'm new to the forum

But anyway.. Here's my situation
I have a 2006 G35x AWD Sedan and recently had to replace my front lower control arms and passenger front axle. I ordered a couple mevotech control arms and found a reman axle (after 2months of searching) Needless to say
After getting the axle and ccontrol arms installed I noticed the new control arms rubbed away the outer axle boot on both axles. I guess the mevotechs were irregular. I ordered them off amazon and now I can't return em. Anyone have any suggestions on a control arm cut to OEM specs?

Seems like a ton of headache to save a few dollars when you could have just ordered the OEM lower control arm to begin with and stop buying car parts off Amazon.

Sometimes OEM is the best option for replacement on specific parts. I don't know of any after market control arms worth the headaches. They also make replacement bushings for the control arms.
