Hi all-
I have looked and looked, I have never used Rock Auto, but Auto Zone sent me their direction saying they have a better selection. I looked (at Rock Auto) but I hate their website.
I'm looking for the upper control arm/ball joint and lower ball joint.
3 Q's:
- what brands do you recommend?
(I heard Moog and AC Delco are good - please let me know)
- what web site have you ordered from and worked out well?
(limited availability on Amazon, see other brand names I have never heard of)
- I was looking too at some parts at 1AAuto.com (are they any good?)
My mechanic allows me to get the parts and he charges me a very fair flat labor rate.
For S&G's I always call a Firestone to see how they compare/contrast. With my last company we used them for our F-450's, so don't get me wrong...they do good work. They offered a ballpark of about $2,000 parts/labor if this type of work needs to be done.
Please don't think I'm cutting corners, but my last mechanic helped me keep the '01 running in great shape for 4 years.
His labor is $220 and I buy the parts.
Thanks
