I just rebuilt my idler arm today and in the process of separating the idler arm and steering relay I tore the dust boot with the pickle fork. I was looking online for somewhere to just buy the boot but I've been told the only way to get it is to buy the whole arm from the dealer. In my search I came across this ebay posting and I'm wondering if anyone has ever used this company or bought a package kit like this. It seems way too cheap for all those components considering an idler arm alone from the dealer can run upwards of $150-$200.

Seems like this would be a great way to replace all the worn out components of my steering for a really great price as long as the parts are quality...

 

you link isnt working but i bought a ilder, inner and outer tie rods, and center link kit from a seller on ebay about 3 years ago, and they lasted about 1 year before all the boots cracked and the center link was warn out. i wouldnt do it if i were you.

Thanks for the heads up Robert

 

They use the same "OE Brand" that came in my kit that I bought on eBay, and I've have good luck with the parts

The only thing that's failed was the idler arm, but that was my fault, with me and my stupid custom IFS setup (installed later on after all these parts were installed)










Full thread on replacing the parts here.

 

i got the same kit, not so impressed but i wanted a cheap way to fix my left wheel from moving 2 inches left n right pulling me all over the road..0_o and it worked well, we shall see how long it lasts, then sas maybe? or LT

 

well i just looked at bleeders rebuild, much better quality than what i got, my inner tie rods were a wee bit bigger than stock so it didint go back together right, had to grind em down, and for some reason the outter tie rods the boots dont have nothing holding them on...there just there...but yeah try to find that brand mucho grande better

How long have you been running this setup? What happened with the idler arm?
Thanks for the info

And by the way, great thread on your IFS rebuild. I think I'm about to do the same thing.
