Little worried about the control arms I bought

I have Dorman front lower control arms on my 240sx. They have been a problem since day one. Been aligned twice and they still cant get it in spec. Bushings are too soft and on one of them the tension arm bolt holes were drilled at the wrong angle, so the caster on the drivers side is messed up. In the process of ordering Moog ball joints for my old (factory) control arms, once I get those pressed in I'm putting the old arms back on and chucking the Dormans in the trash.
 
I had a customer buy dorman control arms for a Dodge Caliber. She was driving down the road and the lower passenger front failed. The arm broke where the ball joint is. Metal was brittle and thin. Aluminum I believe. I looked at it but I'm not a scientist or nothing. Caused lots of damage and she had to fight like [censored] to get her car fixed. Ended up turning into her insurance and letting them sue. We routinely get recalls for chassis parts dorman included. Use oe.
