Anyone buy from a-resto-parts.com?

My 77 needs a new inner tie rod and I’d like to change both outers and inners at the same time. Parts stores list a outer for $20 and an inner for $80 and that’s for the cheapest in house brand. Quick search online brought these guys up and this kit they sell

I’m planning on doing the sway bar ball joint and control arm bushings at a later date anway. Steering components aren’t something I want to cheap out on though so I want to make sure I’m buying quality stuff from the start. Does any one have any experience with these guys?

I haven’t tried there but what I did was look up the part I wanted on my local auto parts store website then I looked them up on Amazon and it was significantly cheaper from what I remember. And they were all moog parts. Might be an option

[aussieta]

not the sort of part i would be buying the cheapest
only name brands for steering and brakes

x2 price doesn't come into it in many package deals of no-name items. They are still often overcharging for the quality.

Might wanna do some research. On the "quality" concerns, cause I hear Moog might have a line in China. Also items such as oil pumps, or camshafts, there are only so many companies manufacturing them, such as Melling. Then they sell them to others who put their own name on it. Problem is, getting that info isn't always so easy. I use-ta like the Moog line too, till I heard that. Haven't proven it yet tho. Maybe some-one here?

[Wallington]

I'd still prefer Chinese Moog to no-name Chinese part. Yes, find out what you are buying first, it may be suitable, it may be junk.

Classic industries has some listed for around $25 apiece. Hotchkis sold a set, there was another performance place that sold a set. I’m not looking for stronger than oem. I’m gonna get the car running and driving on these and I’ll upgrade when the time comes.
