Hello i planing on changing all control arms and tie rods. I planing on buying whole kit online. Whats the best brand to get? So i can be sure its going to hold at least 50k. I heard some stuff that some of them go bad after 10k miles.
Thank You.
Thank You.

You might see on Purems that they are heavy duty and have upgraded tie rod ends, but any and every website that sells them sells the same kit, its not like they are making them anyway. It depends on how they are installed and how/where you drive. So buying a $ 499.99 kit is no different than a $ 200.00 kit, because majority of websites offering this kit are getting it from the same source, and maybe few are slightly different. But dont get your hopes up that its gonna last a looong time, cause it wont.

It will last long than that. Remember they have to be installed like same on each side and very percise. Cause if you install them while the whole assembly is leaning down and than you install all arms and tighten them, as soon as you hit a speed bump you pretty much ripped all the bushings. Sooooo make sure each side is leveled and both structs have the upper arms in the exact position as the other strut. Otherwise you'll get a slight lean and different ride feel,.
