What brands? I would be very careful about some of the stuff you find on Ebay.

better hope those are brand name ball joints, thats one thing you don't want to break on the trail.

sorry but you got hosed on the steering stabilizer, you basically paid for a sticker and new paint.

did the rebuild include bearings too?

you dont have rear brake pads.


sorry for being a killjoy lol but i gotta ask these things

Ask us before you buy stuff from eBay. Much of the stuff they sell cheap is made in China and is inferior quality. We just don't want you to end up with junk.

But then you don't get the excitement of seeing just how badly RockAuto will screw your order up......

I've been ordering stuff from rockauto the past year. I can't remember how many things i ordered but it's ALOT and they didn't screw up any orders? Everything arrives within 3 days too.
