Spindle and CA = junkyard

Strut = anywhere that does front end work; or if you do the work yourself, buy them from anywhere that carries them. Check www.carparts.com Replace both, your car will behave very strangely with 2 different ones. Same with the ball joints and control arm bushings: you'll be putting new ones in your junk control arm, get a pair of junk ones not just one and swap them both out, get somebody to change those out in your junk ones before you start the work (they're a real hassle without the right tools) that way your car will drive the same on both sides.

Don't buy the cheapest thing you can find; if you do, you'll get .... the cheapest thing you can find. Do you care about your car? or your life? Steering and suspension parts aren't the place to cheap out.

I love my car. They want $300 for a spindle so i was thinking about getting drop spindles instead. not much of a price difference. thanks for the ideas

Post in the classifieds. I posted that I needed spindles and a-arms once and I got replies almost immediately and they won't be $300 thats for sure.
