[Vwdiesel] brake and suspension part advice

[raymond greeley]

Hello, it has been several years since i have purchased any parts. i now have a 90 passat glformer was a 91 jetta gl. it has the rear disk brakes. i need to change out the rear calipers (stuck) and several front suspension parts: strut bearing,control arm bushing, ball joint. auto hausz has always been my go to source are they still. also the  control arm bushings has several makes, the meyle is more expensive, are they worth the expense. i am likely going to have my mechanic change out most of these parts as he is good and reasonable and winter is holding on here in chicago. he does have a source of german parts at autohausz pricing though i have not seen his cost on these items yet. 
btw: i may have access to a 1.6 engine na, running and driving, i don't know the owner.it is being swapped out for a td. it will be later this spring if any interest.
