Dont buy cheap ebay balljoints
Luckily they didn't fail while I was driving but I bought some cheaper ebay balljoints, along with "four front lower control arm bushing." Had them on since December of last year, got an alignment and everything and they felt fine. Exactly one year later I go to get an alignment (a couple days ago) after installing new inner/outer tie rods and upper a-arms and the Hibdon informs me that it cannot be aligned because of how badly worn the tie rods are. (warranty was for 1 year or 20k miles) so I get no refund either..
Don't buy china suspension parts, they're trash. Shame on me.

Because people buy this ****, it's cheap. I am informing people of my experience.
Low price and low quality aren't always mutually exclusive.
In this case they are.
Maybe this thread can be morphed into one where members talk about their experiences with chinese parts, because whether we like it or not, our economy is flooded with chinese product.
