Blau Vs. TPC?

[WAUFX at aol.com]

Hello fellow listers--


My new $600 4kq has a trashed LF ball joint and RR tie rod. My mechanic is 
telling me $40 for the joint and $100+ for the rod. Howvere, Blau and TPC are 
both telling me $33 for the joint and $90 for the rod. So, who do I go with? 
TPC was very friendly on the phone and I seem to remember hearing that Blau 
is slow in shipping and response, so I am leaning towards TPC, but I just 
wanted to confirm this via the all-powerful list. TIA to this great list.
