I get almost everything from them good prices best way to save big is get everything you need in one big shipment dont forget the small stuff any other parts for the car that is needed as I say one big shipment is the way to go.

I have a friend who owns a 4x4 shop. When I mentioned Moog, he rolled his eyes. I asked him what was better and he suggested the Raybestos Pro-grade were better in both quality and price.

I trust this guy very much. He installed a detroit tru-track on my DAK after I experienced the quintessential, Dakota/Durango "metal in diff" issue. He wouldn't steer me wrong (no pun intended).

Think about replacing the top control arm bushings check a few local machine shops ask if they replace control arm bushings and how much as I did that and it was very cheap just bring the correct bushings with you and the arms the shop will get them done way faster and correctly done than you could DIY them.

Replacing bushings DIY is no easy task and PITA you may even bend the arms by accident then you have a big problem.

It cost me only $35 total for both

Never had any problems with anything I purchased from them and I have purchased many hundreds of parts from them.

Check on the return policy I’m not sure on that but I have returned one part that was not the correct part just because my year Dakota could be one of two different parts oddball year I had no problem returning it and getting my money back.

Many people on this forum buy from them
