Picking up parts to rebuild my steering linkage - idler arm, pitman arm, tie rods...
Coming across "Spicer RED - Service Grade" parts that are about 1/4 the price of the "Professional Grade" parts of either Spicer or Moog (which are within a few bucks of each other)...
I pretty much know what the answers are going to be, but what is up with this? Are they made of plastic? Bubble gum? I just don't see how you can make a tie rod end for $7... Anyone actually see one of these first hand?
