[s-cars] Parts price discrepancies

[Wayne Dohnal]

I've been looking up some front end parts prices and they're all over the 
place.  For some examples I looked at Blauparts and two different Worldpac 
suppliers.  Front control arm bushings range from $22 to $50.  A pair of 
tierods goes from $120 to $228.  Two tierod ends run from $22 to $71.  With 
Blau the brand usually isn't stated.  With Worldpac, there are generally two 
brands to choose from.

I've heard a lot of horror stories about junk parts, many with German brands 
on them.  How do you tell the difference between a good deal and a pile of 
junk?
