    probably cheaper from the states but ordered and received them in two days was pretty impressive.they look like they are good quality and have grease nipples,bolts and proper nuts.

    A lot of people re new all these parts because they want everything new but if your old parts are still tight then there is probably no need to replace them,you need to remember that you wont be driving your sandman 20000 ks a year and the old parts are probably a better quality than you can buy now.I reconditioned the front suspension on my HT over 20 years ago(probably didnt need to) with TRW parts and it is still a nice tight car to drive.If you want it to drive like a modern car then convert it to rack and pinion.Everyone replaces tie rods,suspension bushes,and ball joints and does nothing to the steering box

    my old ball joints are still tight but i would hate to spend a lot of money on the van and have one fail on the highway.

    Tripple5 or 555. There is no better balljoint/tie rod.

    They don't make them anymore I don't think... But a while back I did a big hunt around. Old stocks within SA. Paid about 70$ per balljoint. But when they are under that much stress I wasn't going to skim on chinease crap. I stocked up and have enough for a few cars.

    Have a look around. They may still be available.
