I'm shopping for front upper control arms and found this pair from Deutsche Parts. Jaguar XJ8 XJR Upper Control Arm Arms Ball Joint Bushing C2C38956 C2C38957 L R | eBay
Some reviews aren't very complimentary of this company, and parts are likely from China. I will call the company and find out a little bit more directly. But I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with the company and whether you think this might be worth the risk? Thanks...

 

So the company claims the parts are from Europe and are not made in China, with a claim that they are comparable to the OEM parts. Parts come from Hamburg-Technic, which says the following about itself:
