i have a 67 chevelle. iam looking to purchase upper and lower ball joints, and in need of bushings. where is the best place to purchase such items. should i go to local auto parts store or go with year one or opg

thanks for your time

OPGI is the LAST place I'll ever buy anything from.

Year One is expensive.

"I" would buy brand-name, top-quality ball joints from either a local supplier; or a place like Summit/Jegs. I'd get the polyurethane bushings from Summit/Jegs, too.

Other folks will remind you that there are sponsors of this web site that sell chassis parts.

Main issue: Don't buy cheap-junk ball joints imported from the Third World.

Rock Auto has genuine Moog stuff for good prices.

Moog, from a locally owned mom and pop parts store.

Careful with Moog upper ball joints. Mcquay Norris (made in USA) or Raybestos Professional - search - it has been discussed before.

www.p-s-t.com for a kit Call them with what you need and have them bring the parts to Carlisle Swap Meet with them at the end of April. No shipping that way.

Get a sense of what is out there by searching online. Try Autozone, O'reilly's, Rock Auto and others. You may be surprised by the range of prices for your parts.

x2. Example. I just bought Moog rubber bushings for the rear control arms of my 66 Malibu and paid $82 for the set of 8 No shipping no tax. I think OPGI wanted $169 for the same stuff. Not Moog. LOL.

Their prices are silly high.

Oh, forgot to mention. This place will do free overnight shipping too, if you're on the east coast.

Go with this guy. http://www.rizzisautoparts.com/
I searched and found he has genuine Moog parts and good prices. I bought all my front end parts from him. He knows his chit. He is also team chevelle member, Rizzi427.

Second that for Rizzi. Good people, good parts.
