Well with my damn procastination my front lower ball joint fell out. Im very pissed that I allowed such crap to happen. Anyways I want to replace all the suspension stuff. This kit on ebay seems like a good start. http://cgi.ebay.ca/KIT-SUSPENSION-T...hZ004QQcategoryZ33593QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem
Anyone know how good those are? Also what is the difference between pre 89 tie rods and 89 and later tie rods? This kit tie rods seems to be for the 89+. Will they fit a 87?

I dunno if I'd buy critical suspension parts for so cheap. Personally, if it were me, I'd go to Rockauto and buy the parts from there. Either Moog, or Spicer Pro Series....

I've got to agree here. The MKIII is a heavy car, and suspension is not something I'd go cheap on.

Save the money somewhere else. (and possibly save your car and your life).

Hmm yes I agree. Bad ideea to go with those. I really dont have a problem spending the money but the prices I get in canada are ridiculous. NAPA has them for $150+
Anyone in canada know some decent stores?

Any big difference between MOOG, Spicer(Proffesional Grade) or ACDELCO?

order from champion toyota - with the canadian dollar as it is, you now save even more than before. (I've probably ordered 5k worth of parts from them with no problems)

Moog and Spicer are really good aftermarket brands (just bought all Spicer Pro Grade stuff to do my truck this weekend), and AFAIK, AC Delco is basically stock-quality replacement. I'd stick with Moog or Spicer Pro Grade.
