Ebay tie-rod ends

[tri5ron]

I want to get an opinion from you guys, or maybe someone here has purchased something from this seller.

as you know, I just bought a nice trx90 for my little girl last saturday. Well, I was tinkering around with it today, and had it up on my atv lift, with the tires hanging free.

I noticed a little bit of play in the front end, and found the tie-rod ends to be a little worn. No biggie, I'll just replace 'em I say....

I go online to the local Honda dealers parts list, and just about freaked out! The Outer ends are listed at $53.85 EACH, and the inner ends are listed at $50.14 EACH !
Thats not including the tie-rods, or nuts,
THAT'S ONLY THE TIE-ROD ENDS !!!

With tax and all, we're talking $223.30, that's freakin' NUTS !!

So I go looking on ebay, and find this....
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200257730463&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=010

The guy has over 100,000 sales and his feedback is 99% positive. and $56 bucks sounds alot better than over $200 bucks.

what do you guys think? or has anyone ever purchased for him before? do his parts hold up quality wise?
let me know what you think,
thanks

this is a known problem with the honda 90. Dont bother replacing them just yet. The new ones will be just as slopping within a ride or two.

that does seem a fair price and i would for shure trust him but on my 400ex the tie rod ends have been bad for two years :rolleyes: and im just now replacing them and i might ride harder than that 90 will, maby, but yours should be good for quite a while, unless she's doing 50ft table tops or shifting from 4rth to 5th on a corner going 60 i would just wait ;) but in the end it all up to you.

I've bought several things from him and always had great luck, and fast shipping.
