Crazy. Did you see the SKP lower ball joint for $10.44? The scary thing is that it has a heart next to it which according to Rock Auto means "One of our more popular parts".

That just means there are lots of stupid people out there. Words fail me on buying cheap Chinese parts where safety is involved.

I prefer Amazon; nothing like seeing the seller is Toyota, clicking purchase, then suddenly being told the seller is actually "sketchyautowarehouse42069"

Or, someone purchasing them, then later posting a thread on here wondering why their lbj failed in less that a year while driving only on paved roads.

Personally, I particularly enjoy reading 5 star reviews from somebody who replaced their worn out OEM parts with El Cheapo ones at 150,000 miles. Then they say something like "I've had them in for almost 1,000 miles with absolutely no problems." Darwin was right.

The best ones are like “I haven’t installed it yet but it looks really good!”.

As long as it's made in Shenzhen ... then you know it's made in Japan.

I utterly despise what the owners of Amazon, ebay, Google and Facebook all have in common. And I ain't talkin' about money.

Is Rockauto like them too? I do wonder, because a Dorman VC that I bought from Rockauto caused my engine to smoke like a chimney. They do sell some junk, but they did at least take it back and pay for return shipping, so I respected them for that.

I'm scared people actually buy those and don't know how deadly those sketchy ball joints are. I think the Toyota made ones are already deadly enough with the quality drop.
