I'm sourcing parts for a front end rebuild on my '96 T4R with 146,000 miles.
I've seen several of these complete kits on eBay and I *think* I know the answer...
but wanted the collective wisdom of this forum...Junk or not??

I mean, it looks legit but I would rather just go through my local retailer and get this stuff with a lifetime warranty. It might cost a little more but cheaper in the long run. If your not lifting your vehicle or putting it through any offroad stress (which from your sig I don't think you are) then I wouldn't think that these parts on eBay are any different than your local retailers parts and should last the rest of your T4R's lifetime. The only thing you lose is the lifetime warranty. Watch out with eBay though, kits like this sometimes tend to leave out little detailed parts.

 

I didn't see sway bar bushings with the kit, that might be something to look into depending on their condition. If you get them, I would suggest the greasable bushings from energy suspension.

parts appear ok but they do not even have a brand listed.

 

I think there is about 0% chance I would use that kit and put my family in there.
