Has anyone tried this suspension rebuild kit that is for sale on ebay?

Unless the bottom wishbone inner fulcrum bushes are genuine metalastik brand, do not use them. As to the rest of the kit, no idea.

 

Yeah, that kit it likely all Brand-X stuff.

Better to shop for the pieces individually.

You want Lemforder ball joints for best quality, and the bushings already mentioned.

Not sure what tie rods are available these days

The bottom wishbone bushes are the only think I didn't replace on my car. They're a super pain, dangerous, and mine were still in good visual condition. As for the rest of it, it could be fine. I got a similar kit from SNG Barratt and then got the shocks from Rock Auto. I think the prices were about the same. One thing to consider, the lower ball joint on my '87 wasn't a sealed design. There is a XJ40 spec lower balljoint that is sealed and fits just fine. It looks like that's what in your kit, as opposed to what was in the SNG kit. I don't know any reason not to fit the sealed balljoint, unless you're doing a concourse restoration.
