Anyone have experience with ebay suspension parts? Need upper control arm/ball joints, lower ball joints, and tie rod ends on both sides. Local parts store for the Moog parts is going to be $499.94, www.hondaautoparts.com will be $422.12 plus shipping and the ebay kit is only $122.00 shipped. That's a HUGE difference.

whats wrong with going to the salvage yard and jacking those parts from a car that got rear ended??Comment

In Minnesota everything is so rusted and corroded I might as well wrap the joints with duct tape.Originally posted by xkjnboix View PostIt really is a labor of love making a neglected CB7 with "normal wear and tear" into something worth being proud of.Comment

The integrity of the steel in the ebay parts is probably fine. However, the tie rod ends and balljoints won't last, because they are so much cheaper. Balljoints aren't something you should cheap out on, as they hold the suspension together and are constantly put under twisting/bending stresses.
Pay more and get OEM balljoints.There are no black and white suspension answers!!!!!!!!!!!Comment

Thanks for your help guys. OEM from Honda dealer or the Moog adjustible stuff? Price is the same.It really is a labor of love making a neglected CB7 with "normal wear and tear" into something worth being proud of.Comment

Are you lowered? If not, then you don't really need adjustable balljoints. I would get OEM. If you want adjustable, look into skunk2 or SPC, they make some of the best adjustable ones available..Originally posted by 93CB7 View PostThere are no black and white suspension answers!!!!!!!!!!!Comment

Not lowered, but my son turns 16 in March, so it might be going that way. I need to have the car back on the road by Monday, so it looks like the parts store is getting my money. Just sold my truck this morning.Originally posted by mndude07 View PostIt really is a labor of love making a neglected CB7 with "normal wear and tear" into something worth being proud of.Comment
