    I need to get some inner and outer tie rod ends, along with sway bay bushings, and possibly upper and lower control arm bushings. My question is after Toyota oem parts where would you go, Auto Zone, Advance, O'riley's or Nappa. Who sells the better parts. I know when I do my ball joints, I'm going with Toyota oem parts, but for these others where would you spend your money at. I know back in the 70's Moog was the best supplier of suspension parts, but from what I've read here on TW, Moog has gone down hill in some areas.

    I personally like Napa. Autozone is good too. I bought an engine oil pan and gasket from Autozone and it was like 30 bucks. Looked to be same quality as OEM. If they give you options, just go with the more expensive part, you get what you pay for.

    They all get them from the same distributor who gets them from same manufacturer. Just different boxes. There are 2 or 3 TOTAL of different manufacturers. Different boxes, different parts houses, same parts

    If you have an Auto Plus or Pep Boys near you they'll have the best price on Moog.
