Decided I need to get on the ball and get the front suspension straightened out. No super-duper poly bushings or anything, all Moog actually. Not sure why I got a new center link. Rock Auto shipping isn't too bad if you can get it all from one warehouse. All of this for $20.00 shipping..
More Rock Auto magnets for the tool box. :P
-
I think Moog are still the best parts when it comes to suspension
-
I have always had good luck with them. Seemingly consistent quality.
For shits and giggles, I put the same items in a cart on Advance Auto parts' website - total $534.30. Rock Auto does indeed kick ass. And that was with subbing 2-3 with "generic" manufacturers parts when the didn't have the Moog part. Sheesh. At least they gave free shipping. :rolleyes;
A few of the parts were almost DOUBLE the price. Like these:

$61.99 at Advance, $39.79 at the Rock. Those are the only "performance" parts I got, all of the control arm bushings..
Not to mention how aggravating thier site is. Enough with the mouse-over menus!

Rockauto ship to Canada?
-
They do...USPS...Wo o Hoo!

Shipping up here gets expensive.

Yeah, I had Marrianne ship my turbo up here via USPS...and still had to hand over $131.00 at the door for it.

I am putting in one of the Jeep steering shafts, and I'm working on a deal for a new set of body bushings.
I want this thing to drive better than new.

The car's pretty clean, and the motor should be back from the machine shop by then, so you won't get greasy at all!

Huh?

He's talking about shocks....and the only ones in that list worth a damn are the Bilsteins..... but they usually cost about $100 each...just put four on the Dog.
The KYBs don't seem too bad until you try the Bilsteins-
