New Max, gotta get parts

Any suggestions? Its been a long time since i was on the board. I remember internetautomart and the group deals but are there any dealers, shops that anyone recommend to get parts for better prices?

Any help is good. Thanks in advance.

Will update profile. New car is a 96GLE pebble beige

For OEM parts?

This discussion comes up every so often. OEM is Courtesy or Dave B. Aftermarket is really your preference, depending on exactly what you're getting.

Yes,

Thanks for the reply. I Need a Knock and coolant temp sensor. But would like to have them on hand if i need anything. It would be good for any emergencies. .

For the KS just get it off of eBay, ~$60 shipped for an OEM part.

Also the ECTS you can really just use any auto parts store brand, they run around $20 last I checked.

Just trying to get the car back in shape. Hope this is good as i have not ordered yet. Any opinions. Dont want to break the bank if OEM is too expensive.

no, they're junk. go with rockauto.com, they have spicer lca's for 89.00 a side and look every bit as good as stock. the bushings on those are small and wont last.

I would suggest MOOG aftermarket parts, they have a lifetime warranty on most of their parts and they are greesable so they will last you probably the life of the car if you keep up with maintenance.

I was wondering why no one uses Beck-Arnley ,or even suggests them? From what I remember they used to put out a really good part if you were willing to pay for it.
Just wondering ...thanks.
