P S T

Well i did my fare share of research before purchasing form them but obviosly i didnt do enough. when i purchased the front end kit and outter tie rods and center link i thought i was done. well i ended up having to by all new ball joints because the ones they sent were wrong and i tried so hard to get them in i pretty much destroyed them. the new ones i got from auto zone and were very easy to put in. i really didnt mind that too much untill i put in my outter tie rods... they were the wrong ones. when i called up pst they made me read the serial number and they said they were the right ones but i could send them and they would send me different ones if i would pay shipping and handling, so i ended up going to autozone picking up some outter tie rods and ones again they fit. if i could go back i would have just bought the bushings from summit and everything else from autozone. well all in all i just wanted to tell you guys about the bad service of pst and hope somebody will learn from what i had to go through.

I bought a kit about two years ago, and they sent me a tie rod end without threads. I still have it. They gave me the run around so I just thought Id keep it for conversation. I dont have any complaints about the performance though.

P S T.....

Hmmmmm..


Piece of S**T.....

could be?!?!?

Sorry to hear about that guys. I thought of going with them also, but decided to go with all ES bushings and Moog parts from Summit/Jegs. My Moog stuff is the best chassis parts I've ever seen.

The T stands for Taiwanese parts... Or so I heard they use foreign made components in their kits.

Try PSC at www.performancesuspension.com , they use all American made parts in their kits.

Im not sticking up for foriegn parts, nor am I putting them down, but there is a reason that foreign cars stay on the road longer. I dont understand why everyone is so down on them. If its a "taking our jobs away" thing, then your just ignorant to the facts. this isnt a personal attack on anyone, just an observation.

My wife's car is a '96 Honda Accord....that damn thing is bulletproof, as are most Hondas. However, after 9/11, I will not buy anything made elsewhere unless I absolutely have to. IMO, foreign parts are typically cheaper made and therefore you get the mistakes with the parts like many guys have had. My Moog parts are perfect.

I opted for the PSC kit, came with inner & outer tie rods & it also included the idler arm. The PST kit only comes with outer tie rods and no idler arm.

I also bought the PST a couple of years ago, and one of the tie rod ends had smashed threads on it. They also told me that they'd replace it if I paid for shipping. I don't think so. I just chased the threads to clean them up. Other than that, no problems
