    your're right. And its good, I appreciate the quick response too. Amayama has x2 for about $75. Says OEM from Japan.

    Edit: did not realize the parts submit/request process.... my parts request is pending prior to final payment

    this is what I used and it looked exactly like OEM, good fit etc and fixed the problem. Have 1k or so on it so far. I picked this one based on the cost being roughly the same as OEM ones are listed for (around 50-60$ per joint) and then there was expensive shipping from the UAE to be around 25 bucks. In my expirience when buying OEM parts from other sources, if it seems to good to be true (like OEM parts at 30-50% discount) theres a good chance it is because they would have a hard time profitting.

    Replaced my lowers last year with O'Reilly joints. Beefy and has a good boot on it. Only issue I had was i needed to replace the grease fittings with 90° fittings for access.
