Raybestos chassis parts

Anyone familiar with them? I am looking at their professional grade parts.

Re: Raybestos chassis parts

I always had nothing but good experiences with their brake products when I still worked in an automotive parts warehouse. We didn't carry their chassis parts line though. From the experience I had with their brake parts, I'd use the chassis parts without worry but I always leaned towards Moog for those items when I had access to a warehouse full of parts.

Re: Raybestos chassis parts

I can't speak for the chassis parts but like Beater said, their brake parts are second to none, very good quality at a reasonable price. I replace all 4 corners on my SAAB and my wife's Toyota Avalon with them rotors and pads, and they are holding up great to her big heavy car, no warping.

So I wouldn't have an issue giving the suspension pieces a try, especially if the price is right.

Are you referring to the "blue" professional grade or the "red" service grade?

Re: Raybestos chassis parts

The Blue, and the problem is that its not actually made by Raybestos, but by another company called Falcon

Re: Raybestos chassis parts

I decided to go with some Raybestos Pro quality suspension parts. Still installing and so far so good. Took a few pictures. Who knows what brand(s) are being replaced / comparred with. Even so I think the Raybestos Pro tie rod ends look to be much better made than the ones being replaced. I know they have got to be better than the worn parts... LOL!
