Has anyone ever bought ball joints and tie rods from LMC? i see that there inexpensive but i want to know if there good and reliable or if anyone has had problems with them

I bought basically an entire new steering setup from LMC. I think everything I got was good quality. If I remember correctly something that came in a pair (maybe balljoints) were different brands but basically the same. Overall it was all good.

I have bought suspension parts from them and the worked great. The last set of ball joints and tie rod ends I ordered for a buddies truck from RockAuto.com. We ordered a less expensive set of ball joints and got all MOOG parts. idk May want to check them out.

Well we bought the cheap balljoints from advanceauto once because at the time we couldnt afford the moogs and we needed the suburban inspected and they were bad a month later So now we just stick with moog.

I've spent hours online today looking for good prices on Moog for the very same things for front C10. Rock Auto and Auto Parts Express have the best prices except the idler arm is very expensive. Using LMC for that and some u bolt kits that I cannot find anywhere else.
Moog ball joints, tie rod ends, adjusting sleeve, pitman arm and coil springs total $302.
Looking for coupon/discount codes now.
