Message: [QUOTE="dougrock, post: 1569314, member: 41527"] Actually... the world has changed...major disappointment all the way around...USA is not USA...it's China...and even other places to buy are the same thing! Don't even get me on the subject of Moog and Spicer ...you are NOT getting what U think! There is RockAuto...I've had good luck there...but found myself buying and spending more on a set of struts...cuz week later my friend ordered his from Ebay half the price...they exactly like the ones I got from Rocko...we both have wives with the same vehicles... I ordered a front-end kit fir a truck from Greek....not as pictured or written...items missing! Sometimes I notice that dealerships who are depleting their OEM stock shelves will use Ebay or Amazon...so sometimes ya get a pretty good part... Bottom line........ IT"S THE DRAW OF THE HAT....and lots of short sticks in there! Note...RockAuto is interesting...it's kinda like Ebay and Amaz...but it directed to ONLY vehicles...and what it does is the shopping homework for you...it will list different "grades" of parts...but those parts could be from Autozone, Advance, Greek, Autoplus,etc etc... again...no matter "who" it came from...it from the same company on AliExpress or Made in China or Aliblia...so....again...who knows what ya getting?? I find RockAuto a great "reference tool" for correct part numbers and I fly around from there... And last and just as important! "Junk Yards" The ones I liked was you walk and take off what you need..pay for it and go! Most I went to...never had a problem if ya had a problem just try another one ...junk yards good like that... So if ya a stickler for "OEM"...yes it's used...but many vehicles end up in junk yards with MANY good working parts! be honest...40yrs... I've =less trouble with "yard" parts than Amazon parts! Sad part...some company in Brazil went and bought out every Junk Yard in the entire state! Can't go and pick your own anymore... Tons of rules....it sucks! But that's the new American way and we allow it...so we can't bitch and moan too much...it comes back and points at us! [/QUOTE]
