I also order parts from them all the time. Although I wouldn't cheap out on the ball joints. I always order name brand parts. And even with shipping, they are still cheaper than the local places. I also use them as a bargaining chip with my parts store as bwdak said. Ordered a bunch of stuff Sunday late afternoon. It was all here Wednesday afternoon . No special shipping like 2 day or anything like that either.

I bought mine from AZ about 2 weeks ago. $31.99 each for all 4. This is for a 2wd, and lifetime warranty.

I went out and checked my repair log on my 96 Tacoma 4x4. I have put 125,000 miles on the lifetime ball joints from AZ I bought 5 years ago, and they are still good (I had front end aligned and everything checked last week.

My son buys form RockAuto all the time for his 94 Mustang and 92 Tacoma. He swears by them.

A Ram is a different beast, compared to a yota. I wouldn't put anything on my truck that's Duracrap. Lifetime warranty or not. You'll get the part for free(warranty) but will spend a lot of time replacing the parts down the road.(if they even work to begin with) JMO

I wish they were that cheap in Georgia. The lower's are almost $60 each and the upper's almost $50 each.

Raybestos from Rock Auto around $30 each for upper and lower.

But I'm definitely gonna buy from RockAuto.

Yep. Yota is a different beast.....266,000, original engine, trans, axles, CKS, CPS, TPS, etc. Only change fluids, filters, and one set of ball joints and inner tie rod ends. And no plenum!

What brand from AZ ? Duralast? You can get MOOG from Rock Auto for the same price maybe. That's what I'd do anyway.

Yup, it's the DuraCrap brand from AZ, I just checked RockAuto, MOOG's are $80 each upper and lower for RWD

I hate to be frugal, as HeyYou pointed out these are very important suspension parts but, on my current budget I simply can't do $320 plus shipping at the moment. Heck, the "professional grade" Reybestos are more expensive, but not by much.

Hmm, I checked too, and 2wd are more expensive than 4wd for some reason.

Anyway, please don't forget to read this thread. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...e-tragedy.html
