EBay adjustable end link for the low ? Looks exactly like whiteline

Found this adjustable end link on eBay.

Looks exactly like whiteline and according to the seller it is manufactured by the same people as whiteline? He has sold 100s of these without any issues

My question is there really any way to screw an end link up? Cost shipped from England is $78 (CHEAP)!

Thanks for your time!

Yes, there is a way to screw up an end link. Make it from an untested copycat, reverse engineered design from inferior materials. I don't know if that's the case here, but I trust that end link as much as I trust any other unknown knockoff part form China or parts unknown.

I've got a used set of Whiteline end links I am asking $100 for. Not hat big a difference and they are authentic. Buy them instead. Or make an offer. Or save yourself $22 and get an unknown.

Like BB said, no one knows the quality.

This truck here looks like the F150, would you trust it over an F150 because it looks like it?

I won't go so far as to say that comparing a copycat vehicle is the same as comparing an off-brand end link, but to echo these two jokers, you should invest the extra few bucks to get a reputable part. Suspension and brakes are the two systems that you really shouldn't mess around with in general. A broken end link won't be disastrous, but at the end of the day, if you cheap out on an unknown part and it fails, you're going to spend the money *again* and get the good part that you should have gotten in the first place. Go with the good stuff.

Seller has 100% positive feedback of 3500 and has been on ebay since 2003. His avatar (I think thats what they are called) is a Skyline, he sells a lot of Skyline/G35/G37 suspension bits and not even one neutral feedback. I'd buy with confidence.
