World suspension from ebay, not my friends any more.

 

Hmmmm. Not mine either. Their the ones I got mine from. Still have most the pieces on but changed one tie rod 8-10 months ago, now have another goin bad. Had them for 12-14 months and 30,000 miles since got all new from them. Which now thinking about it, isnt that bad for how cheap they are, milage wise.

 

I need to do the whole front end on my 01 1500 QC 4wd, I have bought XRF ball joints, but it look's like I need everything else as well. Im asking opinions here, which would you rather have on your truck... the 150,000 mile factory parts or a set of the "ebay" parts. And by parts I mean trac bar,draglink,tie rod ends and so on...but I do have the xrf ball joints, only wanna do those one time ...

 

I wouldnt do the ebay one again. I got those cuz was short on cash. Well, now its biting me in the azz. I need another tie rod and the wife is b1tchin cuz of it amd another alignment. I have a Moog track bar and so far its been good. When it goes Im getting one from Spohn.net. It does away with the ball joint. This is the second track bar Ive put in. Personaly, I'd go with good parts and pay more now rather than pay twice later.

The only way I would put the ebay ones on again is if I was going to sell the truck imediataly after.

 

I really wish local parts stores would wise up on front end parts for all vehicles. It would benefit them & us if they took their store brand front end stuff, & sold it in complete sets at a discount. I have had good front end kits off ebay in the past from other sellers, but not world suspension. I just wish the option was available locally. That makes tons of sense to me.

 

Got the tie rods on yesterday. Nobody told me I'd need a vise and a pipe wrench to crank the tie rods into the sleeve! The last inch was a b1tch. Yes, the sleeve clamps were released, and no, they weren't cross-threaded.

Pretty easy otherwise. I did end up jacking up both wheels for better access.

Definitely gonna need an alignment!

BTW, the AdvancedAuto Driveworks parts had Moog labels on the box and dust boots.

 

They should not have been that hard to thread in. Hope the threads were the correct pitch!

 

They threaded easy enough by hand til the last 1/2" or so. Guess I'll see what the shop says when they do the alignment.
