[2g2fast]

I need to replace my whole front suspension including tie rods, I'm just wondering if this would be a safe route to go heres the link to what i'm looking at:

Ok, i can tell you about the tie rod ends and the straight LC arms i bought off ebay. They ARE cheap and as such have small flaws. The tiw rod ends were perfect, let me clarify.
The straight control arm however was machined wrong so i had to pound the bolt through.
This was when i was considerably dumber and didnt just take it to my dads near complete home machine shop. You may need to check the bolt holes first and adjust if necessary. Take a few thousandsths off if need be.

Otherwise the parts i have were cheap and the ball joint is good as any dorman or house brand part at a better price. Im all for it.

You will get a slew of people saying " youre willing to put your LIFE in jeopardy using EBAY parts?????" Then they will tell you to buy only OEM or the most expensive part out there. Thats really dumb IMO unless you are autocrossing and racing really hard all the time. I think ive spoke my peace

I Second this, had a lower control arm fail me, very uncomfortable and upsetting , ...
I would hate for you to have an accident. Dont cheap out on this.

Aaaaaand, point proven. Ive never had a lower control arm break in ANY vehicle ive owned. I think if i couldnt hear the clunking of the ball joint for 5k miles before it actually happened, i shouldnt be driving in the first place. OP, MOOG is good, your money bro. I dont think you can go wrong which ever path you choose.
