Rock Auto. Forget the others. Much cheaper and can specify MOOG parts if you like. Mike

I just got all my front end parts for my current project from Rockauto. I got all USA made MOOG parts for what I thought was a fair price.

Moog WAS good quality, now you are paying more because of their advertising costs, most stuff is sourced offshore, rubber quality is suspect. Bill sells higher end Spicer professional, I bought some, stuff looks good .

Look up the parts at Rockauto. Then do a search for those part numbers at Amazon. They are sometimes a little cheaper at Amazon and you can get free shipping on some of them.

double R I think I'm good as the LBJ's I just bought (Moog) for a 65 dart w (9" front drums) had been on the shelf there at my favorite parts house for oh I'm thinking 10 years & they were listed for $125 a piece & they let me have em for $115 so I think these were made in US of A ones

Holy moly , the last set I bought was about 25 bucks , must be because of country or origin ?

trick is to do a little research on the companies and look for similarities. most "cheap" brands like duralast are just reboxed "name" brand parts.

They couldn't be that cheap for that particular app (65 A w 9" drums) as I checked several places (locally & online) & iirc the lowest was 80 ish (ea)

I got all of my Moog parts from my local Advance Auto for NEARLY the same price as Rockauto without paying for shipping. I printed the Rock Auto list out and took it to Advance for price match(or as close as they could get without losing money). Rock Auto was going to ship from 8 different warehouses for over $80 total. It was actually cheaper to go through Advance when you factor the shipping.

Thats the only downside to rockauto is that they ship from multiple warehouses. But usually you can get most of your stuff from the same place and when you do, their prices+shipping is almost always cheaper than retail+tax.
