So I am about to do shocks and BJ spacers steering stabilizer and a few odds n ends. I was thinkingit mightbe a good time to do the bal joints tie rods etc. Anyone have any thoughts on this kit and quality of parts and how to make sure things are reliable? I dont want to spend a fortune I also dont want to buy crap

I don't know anything about them specifically, but I read their feedback. They seems to get great feedback for the most part, many people claim superfast shipping. I did notice a few complaints about zerk fittings being left out, etc.

Price looks pretty good, I hope the quality is good too.

 

If you do any offroading at all, there goes your warranty....which isn't much of one....really. The parts could be made in China, Taiwan, or Turkey....if that means anything to you. Means inexpensively made to me.... and considering the rock bottom price. But, if you're not looking for the heaviest duty stuff, they're probably fine and would last a while. I've had parts manufactured out of those places and they've lasted for years. No zirks? Toyota OEM doesn't come with those anyway. I bought some Moog replacements for idler arm and two tie rods....zirks included.

Overall, I wouldn't trust them for much more than a daily driver.

 

auto zone gets about 55 bucks for 1 ball joint, which is probably 1/2 the price the dealer gets. 139 for all that stuff! you'll get what you paid for.

 

When you do your front end work, I would re-pack your wheelbearings aswell
