That’s a 100% ripoff of the Stillen one. I wouldn’t trust aluminum in this application anyway, you can get a nice stainless Kazama one from Autodream for ~200 or order from the states for 50-60 cheaper.

aluminum is soft it would bend, and then your elimiantor would probaly become a partial elimantior, and that would cost you some cash for cheaping out.

Aluminum that thick wouldn’t bend from the lateral forces in this application. I’d be more afraid of the tie-rod end stripping out of the aluminum. I’m sure the Stillen one is fine, but who knows what cheap shit grade of aluminum this ebay one is made of.
