My upper ball joints need to be replaced. One control arm is $150 from rockauto.

Some ebay auctions have EVERYTHING for $100. Any experience with these parts?

Not to mention the motor mounts:

I've purchased a variety of parts from eBay with pretty good luck. Just check out their feedback and read the auction carefully to make sure they're reputable and the part is OEM replacement or fit. I'd probably trust those two. They look like their feedback is pretty good.

 

Thanks for the reply. It does state OEM fit and feedback is 99% positive.

 

Worst experience I've had w/ a part from Ebay was a door handle that, although the fit isn't quite perfect (hard to tell) and it tends to stick, it still works fine and gets the job done. That's the worst, most have been much better, including the door handle for the other side of the car, from the same vendor.

If it's a powerseller or Ebay store w/ a good reputation, should be fine.

 

never had any problems with parts off ebay. I rebuilt the front end of my civic after it wrecked from parts from ebay. Every part you can think of except the front clip which i got from a junkyard

 

The only thing I'd watch out for on eBay is the plethera of cheap aftermarket crap such as "speed" chips, no-name turbo kits, cheap altezza taillight, etc. There seems to be a very large quantity of low-quality modding junk on eBay.
