Has anyone used and of these OE Brand (from FPD) suspension parts? I just finished up my 3800 SCII swap and have decided to move on to the front end (because you can't hold it between the ditches now) to replace the tie rod ends and ball joints plus poly bushings all the way around. Then go for a 4 wheel alignment.

These guys are offering some really great prices on a complete tie rod and ball joint kit for the car lit $69 shipped on Ebay. Are they any good? Has anybody on the forum used them?

Comments???

After talking to a lot of folks.... Auto Zone and Advance sell OE Brand. AZ tells me that they have not had any issues with them and have not had any returns. Since nobody on the board responded and much thought I have decided to get my ball joints from the Fierostore with the adjustable uppers and to get the tie rod ends from OEbrand. Reasoning is that the ball joints are too hard to have to go back in and change and since I have the entire front suspension out of the car, now is the time to do it right. Cost me an extra $40 bucks to go this route but having to pull the front end out because of a poor quality part.... well the alignment would cost more than the savings......

Well here's another option for you. If you buy all 4 ball joints from Rodney Dickman he will give you a discount of 10% plus he is offering an additional 5% off the total order until October 31st:

Sort of surprised nobody mentioned that. I ordered mine from Rodney and they are quality parts. If you figure in the discounts, you can buy his for only a few dollars more and that includes shipping. I'd rather spend the few $$$'s more, know I am getting good quality parts and am supporting a member of the Fiero community.
