ball joints and tie rod ends

[ChaosSaint]

I have a pretty bad shimmy in the front so im planning on replacing tie rod ends, upper and lower ball joints and getting an alignment done in an attempt to get some stability back. Parts are significantly cheaper on Ebay, so I'm leaning in that direction. I searched around a bit but no one had much to say about brands or quality...

Does anyone else have the Ebay generic installed? Any experiance/ input would be much appreciated - I don't want to fork over lots of cash if I don't have to, but I also don't want to replace them in a few months.

 

Examples/ what I'm considering:

Ebay TRE's

Just dont get moog...they where once good but there now junk.Cheapys are the same as them now but with a lower price.

I agree. Moog has gotten less on their quality the past 5 years or so.

With mine, I just get the 'ol cheap aftermarket stuff like TKW or Wagner, etc...My thoughts are..."they are a heck of alot better than what came out and easier to change if they break, as I just recently put them in!
