Tie-rods, yumcha style

Ordered 2 sets of outer tie-rods from a Chinese company for possibly both Altos.
Total cost delivered matches cost of 2 genuine ones – undelivered.

If I’m unimpressed with the quality I’ll only use them on RSR550 and go genuine for RSR660

Update: Enquired about order status; received refund due to parts NLA

‘Shocked and dismayed’

Far right pic: New Suzuki Sport for other alto, some local alto, old Suzuki Sport shock, new KYB (342020)

Have now installed the new KYBs,
Managed to chop the stubborn rusty bolt off with a angle grinder, reasonably confident the thread is still decent for the new bolt.

Of course I then realised the springs don’t match each other so will have to replace them with a set from the spare Alto,
