[s-cars] Preferred Control Arm suppliers

[Thomas R Green]

Peter,

I think you have covered the bases well for control arms.  Steve's  
comment reminds me of something
else I wanted to say about online buying.  For those suppliers that  
answer the phone promptly, calling
is sometimes a good idea if the part is not listed.  Many do not  
depend on worldpak catalogs for every
item the carry and can not spend the time to catalog every item online  
even if it is always in stock.

Tom
