2nd Gen 4runner steering packages...anyone buy these?
I just rebuilt my idler arm today and in the process of separating the idler arm and steering relay I tore the dust boot with the pickle fork. I was looking online for somewhere to just buy the boot but I've been told the only way to get it is to buy the whole arm from the dealer. In my search I came across this ebay posting and I'm wondering if anyone has ever used this company or bought a package kit like this. It seems way too cheap for all those components considering an idler arm alone from the dealer can run upwards of $150-$200.

Seems like this would be a great way to replace all the worn out components of my steering for a really great price as long as the parts are quality...

They use the same "OE Brand" that came in my kit that I bought on eBay, and I've have good luck with the parts
The only thing that's failed was the idler arm, but that was my fault, with me and my stupid custom IFS setup (installed later on after all these parts were installed)
Full thread on replacing the parts here.

How long have you been running this setup? What happened with the idler arm?
Thanks for the info
And by the way, great thread on your IFS rebuild. I think I'm about to do the same thing.
