Gotta add to this one. The quality of parts today is all over the map. You literally get what you pay for. My local jobber has standard and premium parts and I've been burned buying the standard ones. I always go premium, especially engine parts, bearings and suspension parts. And, ebay and Amazon? I know the deals are fantastic but I wouldn't do it. A lot of that Chinese knockoff stuff just doesn't last. I learned the hard way.
