Is this Ebay front end kit any good?

This one right here:
Parts America Front End Kit for $134

Its only $135. Apparently ChupacabraKing mentioned having bought it in another thread and he was happy with it. I'm facing rebuilding my front end and want to get good stuff but money is always a consideration.

If I get this I'd just need sway bar bushings correct?

Thanks.

it's probably ok but is it all made in the USA or is it Jap stuff? I'd hold out for some quality moog parts

What I really liked about it was the heavy duty moog idler arm . I put it up to the original worn out one and you can plainly see the difference . My steering is rock soild now ....... the kit is a mix of moog and TRW parts .


just my .00000000000000000000002 cents ............

The Ebay ad says "some parts may be made in the USA"

So they were actually all TRW/Moog then?

All mine were . I think that means that you may get a kit with imported parts , or you may get lucky like I did . Either way , its a good deal in my book .

If your front end is worn out in several areas than it's a good deal, imported stuff or not. 135 bucks is beans. So if you get a few weak imported parts, and they go after a year, whats the trouble? Go for it.
