URO parts have proven to be marginally okay. Functional yes, great, no!

Its uro brand which are ok but not great quality. The rubber boots and tie rod rubber parts will be junk in 6 months so you would have to buy those else where for sure.

This is one of those instances where you spend the money now instead of next time.

IMHO
I don't think "are ok but not great quality" and "rubber parts will be junk in 6 months" fit together.

I think URO products are junk and I won't knowingly buy anything of theirs at any price. Especially something that affects safety, such as steering components.

Try Paragon Products and talk to Jason. Easy to deal with and they know the product. You might consider a bump steer kit if you plan on lowering your car. Paragons site pictures the ball joints with the castellated nuts.

Sorry to see ESC selling "junk" parts like that. I've gotten a lot of stuff over the years from them- guess I'll have to be more careful to see what I'm getting. Usually get routine stuff like filters, etc.

This is the market we live in today. Notice that there are now literally dozens of new parts places popping up everywhere. They are resellers and many just drop ship. The parts you get are more than likely URO or ????

URO is trying to move into this market in a big way. Support your known vendors, the people you can trust.Yes, it may cost more, but what you are paying for is the knowledge to not get a crappy part.

They are playing the Walmart game - yes the parts are cheap now, but when other vendors can't afford to compete and go out of business, guess what ... prices go up. The Mom and pop that stood behind everything they sold are gone, and if the margins aren't good enough, or can't figure out the QC issues, they may just stop making them.


Hey it's only suspension, what's the worst thing that could happen??

Search around here for feedback on URO parts. Then think about what you want to put on your car.
