Found a complete set of front end parts on
eBay for the super low price of 123.99 at:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=390015373985

Think these are any good?

I've sent a message to the guy asking what brand they are but
that was yesterday and no answer so far.

Anybody ever use these?

It says their "OEBrand" aftermarket replacement.....whatever that means. Its probably just generic or something.

I wouldn't roll with em. This is coming from a guy with ASE certs in chassis and auto part sales.

Why? Cause they are probably made in china using cheap pot metal?

Ive seen parts that have nylon type sleeved-where the ball resides,pivots
its crap and wont last. Ford oem parts used that type of material.
invest in quality-you've been warned!:D

I always run Moog on anything I'm keeping (like my new '03 S10)
but my old '96 has over 212,000 miles on it and could probably
use some new front end parts even though the originals
parts are still pretty tight.

Anywho, I'll forget about this...just wanted to see if anyone had
ever used these and had good results with them. I might would have
looked closer at getting these if anybody had a good report, but that
doesn't seem to be the case.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

and, coincidentally....

Do as I say, not as I do!

Is that old red truck really what you drive?

You know Maaco does some pretty decent paint jobs
for cheap. When I pulled out the hard plastic OE bed
liner on my new '03 I had them paint the inside of my
bed and it looks great!

They could make that 'ol truck look new again for cheap :cowboy_12

Oddly enough, I do show quality paint jobs on my other trucks.... I do have a few trophies to show for em....

But, in the risky buisness of bootlegging, it's not the shine outside, it's what underneath that counts.... if you figure out all the goodies that are hidden under the skin of my trucks faded red skin, you'll realize why it's one of the top trucks on the site. :P

One of these days, it may get painted.... or just primed....

Still made in America.

Well, that suxx...what about AC Delco original parts?

Aren't they still made by Canadian hippies (hosers) up in Canada

I memory serves AC Delco are non serviceable (no grease fittings) and are pretty expensive.
$80 for an outer tie rod! LOL
