Tie Rod Broke

Just got all my parts fitted up onto my car, was pretty happy, took it down to get a wheel allignment. The guys said it all went good and it was sitting perfectly, i didn't even get halfway home when the rear left tie rod broke. Just got my P plates not long ago, so im eager to drive, and this happens, just trying to save my tyres from Premature wear. Has anyone else had problems with 999Automotive Parts?

 

Slightly confused...

...what exactly broke?

Was it this?

Yes it was that up near the pivoting end with the ball joint the wleding from the thread to the pivot end snapped clean off, they call it the "pillow ball" end. Pictures are on other computer, could upload if wanted. Just asking around and getting an idea.

 

Not familiar with 999automotive.

But I am familiar with those Chinese made arms as pictured.

They are absolute rubbish.

 

ouch

 

So exactly was it that you had fitted ? Cheap ebay parts or were the parts supplied by 999 ?

 

I searched 999automotive

and was linked to his ebay store.

Surely alarm bells may have started ringing when the seller spells drifting "DEiFTing"
