I got mine at Rogers Auto Parts in Frankfort Kentucky. I think Napa sells Moog parts. I would try them. No shipping from napa!

I got mine from a local parts store. Most local parts stores will carry Moog or TRW parts for a decent price.

Got Mine a few years ago from MOTHERTRUCKER. Price was 1/2 of what NAPA wanted for same brand-MOOG. Thanks Ed!

I bought all of mine from PST. They have good products and good prices...

I RECENTLY REBUILT THE FRONTEND ON ONE OF MY 72 1/2 TON 2WDs, & FOUND ONE HELLAVA DIFFERENCE IN PRICE FOR THE SAME PARTS, BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER. AN AUTOZONE JUST OPENED UP IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, & I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE PRICES ARE TEMPORARILY ARTIFICIALLY LOW, OR WHAT. FOR INSTANCE -- THERE LOWER CONTROL ARM SHAFT KIT - MCQUAY-NORRIS PT.#FA1142 WAS $31.99 WHILE KRAGEN AUTO PARTS PRICE WAS $63.98 FOR THE EXACT SAME PART. KRAGEN HAS A DEAL WHERE THEY WILL MATCH ANY COMPETITORS PRICE & TAKE AN ADDITIONAL 5% OFF. I WOUND UP BUYING ALL THE PARTS FROM THEM, BUT THEY LOWERED THE PRICE ALMOST $90 (FOR TWO)ON THE LOWER CONTROL ARM SHAFT KITS ALONE. SO FOR GODS SAKE, COMPARE SOME PRICES & YOU'LL BE AMAZED. I WAS.

I've been doing some looking recently, and I think PST has what I need. NAPA does too, but it was a pain to try and put together everything I needed (I have a lot to do), where PST had a kit already together. Finally, when you add up all of the cost it's pretty comparable. They also do regular rubber bushings and polygraphite as well (higher price). Use the web site and request a catalog.

I COMPLETELY REPLACED EVERYTHING -- 2 UPPER BALL JOINTS,2 LOWER BALL JOINTS, 2 UPPER CONTROL ARM SHAFT KITS,2 LOWER C.A. SHAFT KITS, 2 INNER TIE ROD ENDS,2 OUTER TIE ROD ENDS. 2 TIE ROD ADJUSTING SLEEVES, & ONE IDLER ARM, & 2 EACH INNER & OUTER WHEEL BEARINGS. I THINK THATS ALL??

First question out of NAPA's mouth when I asked for these parts was "What's the diameter of your sway bar?"
