    I was looking around LBJs and came across "Quick Steer" LBJ's on Rock Auto for my 06 Tundra.
    The photo shows 555 LBJ's (made in Japan) which is said to be as good as OEMs.

    I know that Rock Auto sells Genuine parts so was wondering has anyone ordered one of these and actually have gotten 555 LBJ's?

    If what one gets is not as pictured, does Rock Auto pay for return shipping?

    Thank you.

    You’re only going to replace them once. Don’t chance it. Get the OEM.

    You would think they should IF the photo does not match the product they sent.

    One would think. It generally doesn't happen, but their return policy states "shipping charges are non-refundable unless it's due to our mistake". They came back and said they shipped an equal product. In short, you're going to pay to ship back.
    Just do yourself a favor, avoid the whole thing. The ONE thing that your SHOULD go with OEM on are LBJs. Lot's of stuff written on the subject in this forum. Use the search tool.

    Don't fuck around with non-oem. There is not an aftermarket brand currently that holds a candle to OEM.
