for 200$ seems like a good deal but i don't know anything about quality
also friend of mine works at nissan dealership so he can get OEM parts with employee discount. But it's gonna be more expensive than of e-bay.

Dont buy them, you will regret it. Mainly becuase of the poor quality ball joints used on them. I bought just the ball joints and they lasted about 3 months or so. If you can at all spare the money for OEM then get those for sure.

Looks fine to me. What's the problem?

Basically, everything that I replaced on my 1992 Max came from EBay, and that includes control arms, tie rods, steering rack, power steering pump, brake disks and drums. It all depends on the Seller. Check his feedback to see if he has any unhappy customers. If something seems to good to be true, price-wise, it probably is.

Sometimes, you get lucky and buy a quality product for a low price. Shop around.

Don't you see the spot of rust on the end of the balljoint stud?

LOL

and the lack of the rubber "ball"???

You guys pick up sarcasm well. :grinno:

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo no Ebay control arms

add a couple more oooooooo's for me. i'm lucky i got a fullll refund, paid for the shipping back too. guy sent me mismatched arms that were different materials. one of my mechanics didn't even wanna put them in for liability issues

I highly recommend eBay IF you find quality parts on it. Sure, there are a lot of sellers who peddle junk, But you can also find guys who are legit and offer OEM stuff, too.

Caveat emptor.

It looks like he is a good seller .... 99.9% positive feedback out of 6612 purchases. He claims that it's a high quality stuff ... also you have 1 year warranty.

dont cheap out, employees get cost + 5%( or atleast i do). later down the road when you end up replacing the ebay control arms because of poor build quality/parts you will regret not spending the extra money to get the oem ones.

i agree...would not recommend ebay control arms

They look good to me. Although ebay is famous for junk parts (cheap) and some good ones but minimal
