Default Experiences with Ebay Control arm Bushing Ball joint Tie rod end sets

I was wondering what experiences everyone has had with the sets of these that are sold on eBay. Is the quality up to par? Are they a valid alternative to paying exorbitant amounts of money for OEM replacements? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

i just got and upper control arm from ebay this week and it looks great. I have not installed yet but looks good to me. The shipping on it was very fast to. All together with shipping I paid 48.00 for it.

I'm going to be getting a set of upper control arms and some lower ball joints in the coming month from a seller on E-Bay, so I'll see how it turns out.

I put a set of upper control arms on my brothers and dads crx's and they worked well. I used inner/outer tie rod ends on mine and they were good too.

Good to hear; does anyone else have any feed back? I know CRXBart installed some on his wicked build, if anyone knows how he liked them or if he is back after his recent debacle, I would love to hear about that as well. I just want to make sure that I'm investing my money wisely!

Thanks

I've got it on both of my cars the KRX, and the beater hatch DD. They have been abused, and daily sriven with no problems yet. I recommend them. I might sell mine off of my KRX soon. In favor of some with adjustment rather than using the stupid bushing adjusters.

I bought a set of tie rod ends for my crx about 6 months ago, they look like oem peices, and they were brand new, seem straight to me, especially for the money
