[s-cars] Parts price discrepancies

[Young, Steve]

Wayne...

I usually stick with TRW (Moog, Federal Mogul) or Lemforder for suspension items.  Febi has also been decent.  You pay more, but I think it's generally worth it.  I don't buy any other brand unless I have to, and no Meyle no matter what.

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?
