lint Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Oh total crap! working on my ride & joy today, installing some new Compression / Tension / Strut rod (whatever!) bushings with some new Energy Suspensions and the rod on driver's side is soooo worn out I shouldn't be driving this thing....so I WON"T, but I work on call & I need it to make $$$.... Anyway, my local parts place doesn't show a listing, and my regular online place doesn't carry them. Called the dealer at 5:02 and they didn't pick up but reception did & told me parts closed at 5:00. Damn, I'm not impressed! Anyone know where to find a set? I'm thinking that passenger will be equally as bad.... maybe I can't answer the phone tomorrow..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Last time I looked, dealer was the only place to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Basicly a dealer deal or get lucky at a J/Y. Maby shoot Alkorahil a PM, he IS the factory parts pushing guru round here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lint Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 hmmm, ok...no JY's 'round here that are u-pick which is reflected in the price. Guess I'll go the dealer route. Thanks for the info kids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lint Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 My dealer (Vancouver BC) had them in stock for $60. Yeah, so I call my dealer at 7am & he tells me he has 2 instock & they are 68 bucks each. So I say to him "Vancouver dealers have them for about 60 but that's ok I'm in a bit of a jam". Off I go to pick one up & when I get there he has adjusted the price to 59 and change. Nice! Sewebster just saved me 9 bucks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good info, & yes, I am replacing everything.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkorahil Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Oh I understand, just trying to help. Been there myself a few times, sometimes when you gotta have it to get back on the road price starts to become less important! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lint Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Yep, that's true! I always say "buy quality parts and quality tools and do the job yourself but if you cheap out on either parts or tools, you're just gonna have to do the job again". I'm back on the road & I'm safe inside. time for a couple of these!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
