Front Suspension

i recently went on a e bay splurge and bought clear corners, sway bar link, new struts, brembo drilled/sloted rotors, volfenhaug dvc 12" 's, neons, chrome gauge bezel, reverse glow gauges, tie rod ends and a camber kit.

the drivers side strut blew apart and the strut mount took my hat right off my head it was a close call. so i had to put one old strut in on the driver side front (all 3 others are new) , when i got it all together and drove it i heard a loud SNAP and later to find that the sway bar link snapped due to a manufacturing defect, however the sway bar is slightly bent. the point of this post is to locate some parts at a reasonable price seeing how i am out quite a bit due to the sellers lack of business ethic. I need drivers side strut, sway bar link, sway bar, and both lower control arms, if available let me know how much. thank you

Stock sway bar? What brand links? What struts?
do you have links to the parts you bought? Alot of the odd fleabay stuff is generic crap that is horrible quality.

Whats the deal with the Caps on the title? And lastly, gonna go get lunch at Dave Smith Motors tommarrow? I would

nope, I'm in the seattle area. My Dad purchased his 1998 Durango from Dave Smith May 16th 1998, flew in Sat, had lunch (they do a barbeque every sat.) and then drove back with the brand new rig . Did the same thing in 99 for my StepDad's 99 Surburban


I'd go with Tokicos, try to pull Koni's if you can swing the money
www.internetautomart.com or someone on the site might have some used ones for sale

McPherson refers to strut design not brand

as MrGone alluded to I sell almost all of those parts brand new at competitive prices. and my tech support is always free and available

He needs to swap the actual VE speedometer. Speed sensor has nothing to do with it.
