Default spindle replacement

I have a bad spindle, bearing cut into spindle. Should I buy used spindles off ebay that are cleaned/painted or just from individual? Also need to know what else I can do to make it ride better for not too much money since I'll be at the springs/shocks/ball joint areas anyway.
Thanks! 1989 GT Fox convertible, 89,000 miles

just buy the part new, along with the springs shocks ball joints, and when it comes to the maintenance Items I would do both sides at once, to retain a good ride. I like to avoid ebay at all cost, you never know what you're buying, a junkyard spindle would be ok in my book, I dont' know if the 4 banger ones are the same as the 5.0 ones.

I got my set off of e-bay and had no problems, just look at the persons feedback and decide for yourself. I paid 90.00 for mine with shipping. I also dont believe that the 4 cylinder ones are the same.
