I just bought lowers at Advance auto for $23.99 for one side and $24.99 for the other side.
OE brand whatever those are 
What year and what brake setup? I had to buy a lower for my 69 dart with 10" drum brakes, 4 yrs ago , and it was $100 a side for Moog.

It's a 70 Duster with 73-76 disc brakes
$35 for TRW
$56 for Moog
I chose the OE brand
The 73-76 LBJ's are cheaper than the others.
Go with Moog joints, better quality.
What brand are they saying is OE ???
