Since I've had good experience in the past with BA I decided to order my LBJ's and Tie Rod ends from them. I was lucky in that they were having a whole sale on one of the LBJ's so I was able to get both of the Lower Ball Joints for around $60. All the Parts arrived and the Ball Joints were fine. However, the problem is that since Beck Arnley is a Distributor they deal with various brands. Because of this the Outer Tie Rods I received were of different brands. One of the Outer Tie Rods is Silver and has a larger nut while the other is Black and has a smaller nut on the end. Lol I don't want to have 2 different brands for my left and right tie rod ends (even though I doubt it would matter), so I am going to order another left and right tie rod and hopefully out of the 4 I will have a left and right that match, and I can send the other 2 back.

This is basically just to serve as a caution note in the case that you are ordering parts from BA.

 

For that u could have gotten some oem ones.... just saying

 

Once I return the ones I don't want, the total should come up to around $45 compared to the $95 for OEM, but I do agree with you on buying some parts OEM.
