One had a bad weld, the other a good one

I ordered two of these. One of them had a bad weld, the other had a good one. I probably should have returned the bad one but I was in a hurry to get it fitted to my car. I greased them so it doesn't squeak. So far, so good. Will be updated after further use.

Pros
  • Shocks, Struts and Suspension
Cons

Excellent replacement - Chassis

Excellent replacement. Easy to install after factory expired. Reduced vibrations on the trailing arm. The only drawback compared to the factory is the actually limited range of motion of the trailing arm. They allow you to create an excellent pivot point. So my spongy rear suspension is now more noticeable. Rear-end roll in tight corners is a little more than I'm used to. Not these parts fail. I just noticed something.

Pros
  • Spares
Cons
  • Expensive

OK Lower Trailing Arm Bushing - Poor QC Dorman

Dorman QC failed. I bought two of these units and you can see there is poor quality control between them. As a result, I'm now wondering if these devices are safe even for prolonged use. Another Dorman product I bought even had "Made in China" misspelled ------> "Made in China".

Pros
  • Chassis
Cons
  • Good but not great
