ÜRO Parts Suspension Kits

ÜRO Parts Suspension Kits are now in the RockAuto catalog for select BMW (E30, E32, E34, E36, E38, E39, and E46 chassis) and Mercedes-Benz (W123 chassis) vehicles. ÜRO Parts suspension kits ensure all major wear items such as control arms, tie rods, bushings and sway bar links are replaced simultaneously. This maximizes improvements in vehicle safety and handling and reduces wear on other parts like the tires and steering gear. Find ÜRO Parts Suspension Kits in the "Suspension" category.

In addition to suspension kits, RockAuto offers ÜRO Parts' other diverse product lines covering body, electrical, suspension, steering, cooling, air conditioning and more. ÜRO Parts products fit vehicles by Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Saab, Volkswagen, and Volvo. ÜRO Parts offers quality products at competitive prices. Every part undergoes one or more of the following measures in order to make certain that each part meets or exceeds OE standards for fitment, function, durability, and design:
1. Installation and extended use of the part in real world conditions
2. Laboratory testing of rubber and metal compounds for tensile strength, shear strength, compression strength, elasticity, stiffness, etc., under extreme conditions
3. Intensive factory and local inspection including verification using original samples and engineering drawings to ensure consistent quality every time

They sell all the regular parts too. I got moog balljoints for both sides for under 60 bucks. Most ships from England so it takes a bit.

rockauto is the bomb-diggity.

URO are shit parts. But Rockauto does sell some name brand stuff sometimes, I got beck/arnley tie rod assemblys for $12 a peice.

I have URO swaybar end links on my car and they seem to be holding up fine but I wouldn't use some things like control arms or ball joints.

uro parts are junk...ask anyone with an m42 how that plastic coolant pipe from uro worked out

They are also closing out a lot of E30 parts at a deep discount.

I picked up my high pressure steering pump hose there for $42 shipped or something like that. Good part from edelman or gates, can't remember which.

Bought a ton of cheap shit off there for my truck. 90 bucks for quick struts? Yeah ill try that out!

I've been happy just scouring ebay. Got a few solid deals on meyle hd parts by using the best offer thingy.

[Fleksta]

I've never received a URO part that I was happy with.

I got in on that deal too. They were awesome for the price.

looking for e28 front-end stuff, what do I have to do in order to find the front end kits?

I bought Delphi control arms from them. Started making noise after a month. I am not pleased.

[SmokeE30]

its still about the brand you buy, RA has great prices on all brands but when you have half a dozen parts for $40-50 and one for $15 you really shouldnt expect great things from the cheap one unless its a manufacture close out of a good brand which does happen on RA pretty frequently.

Im currently pondering their axle options, none look very good but hey if i can get a $50 axle to last me a couple months untill i can get a good oem one to refresh and swap in it might not be that bad.

If you've ever been in a Delphi parts plant, you'd totally understand why.
