SW20 Ball Joints & Tie Rod Ends

Hi all,

Looking for recommendations and personal experiences with different ball joints and tie rods.

Currently looking at replacing all 4 lower ball joints and the front tie rod ends, though this may change depending on budget.

I know OEM is best but the dealer was asking $650+ for everything, and amayama was looking like around $450, both being affected by COVID-19 freight delays.

I was wondering if anyone had used aftermarket joints and rod ends with success, or knew of any local suppliers that may be faster/slightly more affordable.

Keen to hear your thoughts, thanks

    I used eBay ball joints, so far they have been fine.
     
    When I was doing the suspension I had to remove the front underbody cover and noticed that the steering boots are split.  I have bought new steering boots and inner rack ends but have yet to find somewhere that sells the tie rod ends for a Rev 1 without power steering, let me know if you have any luck with the tie rod ends.
