I bought all my ball joints, tie rod ends etc. at the local Kragen, Pepboys store. No issues here and life time warranty.

Find the moog part numbers then search amazon.com
They usually have the best prices as long as you can wait for shipping...

I bought most all of mine from Classic Parts. Great customer service also.

rockauto.com has fast shipping, usually has the best price, and a really large selection of brands.

advance auto will give you a 20% discount if you order online

Re: Best place to buy quality suspension parts??

Got all my front end rebuild parts from Performance Suspension in Phoenix, AZ.
Sonny is great to deal with and they have good prices. Just be sure to ask for MOOG parts otherwise you'll get made in Taiwan parts and if you're like me, then you're sick and tired of buying stuff not made here!

MOOG is the only way to go. Had a 2mo old TRW balljoint break on me once, not a fun feeling or expierience.....

Re: Best place to buy quality suspension parts??

I have also had positive experiences with Sonny at Performance Suspension. I recently ordered a complete front end rebuild kit including polyurethane bushings to replace ALL suspension bushings. Suspension parts received seemed to be of excellent quality. I would recommend the full kits......package deals are a great way to save and you will have more peace of mind that its all new parts

I also dealt with Sonny. Great guy to deal with, and the stuff was shipped insanely fast.

Re: Best place to buy quality suspension parts??

I just tried Performance suspension. Not happy. I called and asked if they were moog parts and after being told they were placed an order for a complete front end kit.

When i received the parts only ONE part was moog the rest were McQuay-Norris. From the research couldn't find much about those parts and couldn't find anybody that sold their parts. The thing that was a deal breaker the ball joints I received were standard grade, not what I want to put on a 4x4 so I had to end up paying for return shipping and lesson learned.

Re: Best place to buy quality suspension parts??

This is an old thread but I got mine from Summit racing. Got all MOOG parts, suspension and steering. There were a couple of the MOOG parts that I had to get through O'reilly auto parts and JC Whitney because Summit did not have them or could not get them. You can't beat there shipping prices. I had a $1100 order and only paid $12.95 in shipping. I hear RockAuto is good too. Just placed an order for all my leaf spring and shackle bolts.
