Where is the best place to buy replacement parts? Ball joints, Bushings and common wear items like that?

 

Try rockauto, great online catalog, fast shipping and I have never had a problem.

 

With Rock or Parts Geek if they ship you the wrong thing you are just out the shipping both ways. I've gotten burned on that with some AC stuff. It was the right listing but had the wrong fittings.

I do a lot of Napa, Oreillys, Amazon and ebay. I list where I got all my stuff in my build sheet here:

If that link dosn't work there is a tab on the side of my blog with the info too.

 

I'll second RockAuto, they are usually the cheapest price on the web. If you actually want to walk into a store Autozone's loyalty program is pretty good as long as you keep all your purchases a little over $20. Each $20 purchase gets you a point and five points gets you $20 store credit. If you plan your small purchases out well you can rack up a nice amount of credit to use on the bigger stuff. Advance runs some great online discounts as well. Before checking out with Advance or Rock always go to retailmenot.com and look for any discount codes that can help. When you can't find a part anywhere else and want to talk cars with some old guy behind the counter go to Napa (they do have a significant AAA card discount).

One example of prices. Felpro gasket ms95953 rock auto $5.67, Napa WITH AAA discount $8.37, (list $15.74) also at the same time at Napa I bought a can of WD 40, using once again AAA discount. Shelf price $6.99, List price $13.58 with discount $6.99. I sure saved big on the WD 40. No, I do not work for Rock auto but if you have plenty of time you can save big time on purchases at Rock auto. Shipping is fast but remember you do have to pay shipping so it pays to place a large or expensive order.
