Where do you buy your parts from?

[Aven]

Locally things seem to be limited. I'm trying to avoid going to the dealer, especially after they quoted me $176 for the dash dimmer switch.

Right now the suspension has become a serious issue, but I'm having trouble locating all the bushings I need.

So, who gets your money?

rockauto.com has the best prices period and a good selection. i don't get my parts anywhere else for the datsun

Thanks. I'll check them out.

I am a huge fan of AutohausAZ.com - usually comparable to Rockauto, but I like their site a lot better.

I'm only recognizing a few manufacturer names. Is there anyone I should avoid or is always a good choice?

what bushings are you looking for exactly?

i found all the ones i needed at checker auto parts locally except for one set...

[Aven]

Pretty much the whole front end. I knew it needed work when I bought it, but I didn't realize just how bad it was until I went to drain the radiator. The sway bar is basically floating on the passenger side, those bushings are gone. The driver side isn't much better, but at least they are still there, sort of. So I figured the rest should be changed out too. Just do it and be done with it.

I ended up going with Autohaus and 4x4.com to get what I need for this first go round. Next paycheck I'll get the ball joints.

Here in the caribbean the dealer gets most of my money for specialty items like the complete tail lights, but for most things any parts shop will do.
