Pricing Suspension Stuff-Asking here, too
I posted this in the Suspension side, got two responses so far.
My 1985 Firebird needs steering linkage, finally.
MOOG/TRW
Tie Rod (total 4, 2 per side)
Center Link
Idler Arm
Lowest price I got was $232.74 + 12 shipping (Northern Auto 800-831-0884)
Summit was $290 + $8 shipping
On our F bodies, we only need do lower control arm work, as there is no upper control arm (like in my 1967 & 1968 Camaros, 1974 Corvette & 1985 Blazer), correct?
In future I would only need bushings for lower A Arm & also a lower ball joint, correct?
Eventually I'll add the new steering rag joint.
New shocks/struts on this car does feel good!
Thanks for pricing tips!

If you wanted to be cheap about it, I have done in the past, Summit will price match Northern Autos Prices, (as long as they are the same make and part#s) you will save a little on the shipping, and most likely get it faster as Summit ships out of the Nevada warehouse to CA.
Just my thoughts!

PST in Jersey wants $230 YET THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE I won't be receiving inferior foreign made parts.
I seek only Moog/TRW stuff.
Performance Suspension Components offers a great kit for $279 (includes poly stuff & bushings & such).
Yet I also seek to purchase the Centerlink which is an additional $60 or so.
I can swap out steering linkage & sway bar parts without a problem.
I need help on install with the lower A Arm replacement parts. I can add bushings & such later on.
