My front end needs a rebuild
Just looking for some ideas to tighten up my front suspension and steering, found this on e-bay.

Too good to be true? Seems to be, anyone had any experiences with this?

The seller seems to have 100% positive feedback, and he sells the parts individually, and for about $40 each. any more advice, or place to buy all the parts?

Yeah there is this one. Folks on this board have used his stuff and been happy. More expensive but at least with some history to back it up.

I read through the feedback on the the cheaper of these two and someone mentions they are china parts and as much as I hate the chinese market unless you pay high dollar that is where all the auto parts store parts come from also.

For really important stuff like steering, I'd stay with name brand parts. I'm not fond of using cheap chinese stuff on things that might strand me or cause an accident.

blk beat me to the punch on that one, they have very good parts and worth the extra $$$. not to mention, located in north america so any warranty issues shouldnt be a problem.

I agree having recent experience with a total IFS rebuild. I went with Toyota ball joints and Moog tie rods. It definitely wasn't cheap. I also replaced all of the control arm bushings which was a major chore. I recall about $250 for the new tie rods and alignment. The ball joints were around $60'ish each.
After driving it now about 500 miles with some light to medium wheeling, I am quite pleased with the solid "almost" new feel of the front end.
It is nice to know that my components aren't lead painted, GHB laced, inferior copies that wouldn't make it over the curb let alone the trails.
