    I'm looking to replace my 09 rusted reinforcement beam (52043-04010). I've checked carparts.com and ebay. Ebay is the cheapest at $86. Is there any differences in quality?

    Thanks

    I did mine about a year ago. I bought a off brand i think i paid $130 maybe. It wasn’t a perfect fit most of holes lined up and one was slightly off but the bolt went in . Mine bar literally fell apart in two pieces when I removed it. I also sprayed it with some clear coat to keep it more protected

    Thanks, I may go with the Ebay one. See if anyone else has opinions between the two versus OEM.
