I bought them from the guy on ebay and there were a few folks here that said they were good stuff and the same brand that PP sells .. so I got them -- they came w/o being in the pastic bags ( stated as being new ... and the grease thing going on and the return address states CA on the box but is post mark IL ?

I feel a bit uneasy about this....

I ordered a set off of evilbay about 6 months ago (they're still in the bag (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) ) and they were brand new (ie, no visable grease adn iin sealed bags). If you want I can take some pictures and/or find who I bought them from.

Based on what you wrote, I'd have an uneasy feeling as well.

Can't figure this guy out. You say CA the item was marked IL. He sells womens fasions too out of PA and all his Porsche parts ship from USA. No negative feedback I can find but it maks me uneasy. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

sk8kat1...how about a "GreatLakes Contingent"? or a "ChiTown Posse"?

"GreatLakes Contingent" or a "ChiTown Posse" sounds good to me as long as you'll let me in with no car (yet!) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

I've been toying with the GL Cont. idea, not too good with PS though.


Oh, and just so this isn't (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/hijacked.gif)
I bought some turbo tie rods off ebay last year, not this guy though. No grease anywhere outside the boots.

I guess I'd check the boots real good for any sign of crack. Might be they just got hit somehow and grease was forced past the seal.
