Im looking for the best price on a front end rebuild kit. American made parts preferred. Who has the best prices on an original style kit? thanks for the assistance.

Make friends with your local auto parts counter guy...tell him you're planning a complete front end rebuild, you want good quality parts, and ask him for his best prices.
And as a plus, you've got a face to go back to if something isn't quite right later on. ;)
My local Mom and Pops store almost ALWAYS has better pricing than the large chain stores. And the expertise is free. :cool:

Thanks for the reply! You guys should advertise the Moog(MADE IN USA) for that kit. I would have bought it. Little late now...

Could a novice do this? I have done front brakes and bearings before. Is there specialty tools involved?

Moog Automotive Products was a Cooper Industries Company and was purchased by Federal Mogul on August 18, 1998.This purchase became an automotive "powerhouse" with such name brands as Wagner,BCA, Champion and Anco all on the Federal Mogul line card. Bob Rizzi~~

Unless the Napa store is buying from an outside source, Napa is DANA. The counter man must not have known that, standing behind the counter every partsman should know what he is selling.
