1. So what. There is crap like that on eBay all of the time.
2. The item description is wrong.

The parts shown are HT/HG parts but most certainly not HK. The HK
front suspension used greased steel threaded bushes, not rubber as
was used from HT on. The HT parts will fit onto an HK front end but
are not original HK.

I have never really looked so I wouldn't know/care. No bids but 14 watchers.
Could be popular?

Yes I know, but I figured most people know anyway.
From memory HK will not fit HG-T. Can you remember why?
Also, are they interchangeable side to side?

14 other people have similar items to sell and are watching to see how
much these go for before listing theirs.

HK will fit HT/G, HT/G will fit HK. In each case, you have to change
the wishbone and pivot shaft as a set. In contrast, you can change
just a wishbone or just a shaft if you don't mix models.

The wishbones are offset, so the balljoint is noticably off centre
compared to the holes that bolt to the crossmember. Put them the
wrong way round and the caster angle will be interesting. :-p
