Hi there,

I'm trying to repair my wrecked xj that i bought a while back. I got all the body panels replaced. Now I need to replace my front axle housing due to a bent original one.

Anyway, I'm doing this on a budget to get it back on the road. It going to be stock and will not be lifted. I need to replace my ball joints, sway bar end links. I came across this link on ebay where it replace everything in the front and I was wondering if its worth the buy. Or have any one have experince with it.

I didn't buy that kit, but did buy a couple of part from the same place. They looked ok in initial quality, but I don't expect them to last long. They've only been on there for a month, but so far so good.

That parts aren't brand name parts... just cheap Chinese stuff, which is always hit or miss... but I'm on a budget too, and just needed something cheap.

 

buddy of mine always buys parts lots like that on ebay, sometimes he gets good brand name stuff, others is cheap china stuff. $144 to replace everything is cheap, it'll get you back on the road.

 

well, I was looking at my new axle housing and trying to see if the orginal ball joints needs to be replaced or not. How would I go around seeing if it needs to be replaced? I will take the knuckle off, rotors, hubs, what not and use my orginals over to new axle housing.
