    I found a pair of total chaos upper control arms for sale on CL for $350.
    Not sure if this is a good deal or what I should be looking for to tell if they're in good shape.

    Any input would be excellent.

    Hopefully others chime in with experience, but 1st make sure they are stock length, unless your going LT..

    Bushings will likely be worn in, and unibal can wear under abuse.
