Fixed my generator today. $1.04 for the part. 2 minutes to solder in and a new gas line. Works like a charm.

Thinking about offering 300 and picking this up for a project. What do you guys think yay or nay?

Yeah i couldnt iagine having to leave, but if we have to leave we have no choice. Atleast the wind died down. They shut down more roads and evacuated more folks. Helicoptors are all over the place dumping water. I now see how the people in California feel at times.
i bet the person burning brush that started it feels like a complete azz
im wondering if he will get in legal trouble?

the decal on those does say "progressive suspension"
they're better than chi-wanese knockoffs and stock blaster shocks, but definately not worth $250

has anyone bought moog ball joints for truck/car from a local auto parts store/opposed to online?? same part exactly# and all.....
im really pissed that i dropped 180 bucks on 1 upper 1 lower only to find out they are $85 for both shipped online?

the local garages say that carquest is there main good auto parts store and i wanted the best ball joint except the oem non greasable ones.
i did call several/all auto parts stores and they all said about 80 bucks for 1 of them,but when i got the part number internet is showing 39.97 for the 81.99 i was charged.......im very unhappy at this moment...Dealer also said it was a 2 1/2 hour job eff that im doing it lol.
but origional ? what have people paid for there car/truck ball joints with good sucesss and im not paying $80 bucks for a $40 dollar part that i mistaking did today

Ha, my chrysler 300... Dealer said lower a-arm was bad, part price $350, install labor $350. I paid $100 online, and put it in in the parking lot in less than 2 hours.
I only buy stuff I absolutely need that day locally, 90% of the time ebay has similar or same name brand stuff for 1/2 of the locals, but they do have to pay matt, kurt, denny and meaghan to stand around all day eating chinese food everytime I go in
for instance, my sons 02 jetta, $80 sum for one upper a-arm with non replaceable ball joint @ advance auto.
I got all 4 new a-arms, with ball joints, new tie rods and ends for the same price off ebay, a guy in a brown suit and truck dropped it off on my porch 3 days later

it was a thought out plan but know that i rented the ball joint press tool that i dont own $115 bucks down payment
$182 dollars for 2 moog ball joints..that i could get for 85 bucks online shipped..And i half to wait till monday to get the lower from any place i live by and do the job myself hoping these rusted up control arms dont break on me
im just upset cuz i had 2 options in my area go cheap for 60 bucks or less or go good for 180 bucks...i made the mistake off not entering part number online
i dont have a manual to this truck..i called seriously 6 different parts store'looked online saw cheap questionable ball joint's and everyone said 80 bucks a pop...or 20/30 bucks for cheapos...
im on the fence whetever i want the trouble of returning/yelling at store or just solving the squeking ball joint that ocurred over winter from cracked boot/no grease fitting and no saving this mofo...i have tried lol

I am sorry to say but that is part of a shops income. The percentage on markup varies depending on the part. A 50 cent valve stem (not the Rapper) can cost you up to $7 bucks. Or the tpms tire pressure monitor rebuild costs on the cheap side 15-45$ each for a rebuild, doesn't matter if it was your autographed N'sync cd hanging from the rear view mirror that blocked the signal and popped the light on, or the expensive 25 cent battery that needed replacement. The average driver nowadays doesn't even want to open the hood. Shops take advantage of that. Business is business. Like when I went to the dentist the other day. If I didn't have insurance $800 bucks to sit in a chair for 15 min seriously?? He said the tools cost $ (he said $125 for the contra angle piece at the end of the tool, it's $15 on e bay same exact thing) , chair time is $, the secretary's cost $, rent, elec insurance, etc... Good thing is handy guys like us can cut those costs and find the parts and do the work ourselves.. One of the fringe benefits of understanding mechanics, being able to work with our hands and not afraid to get dirty keeps $$ in our pockets instead of lining there's.
Wish there was a like 1000000 option.. - It wasn't another head under his hat, it was one of the deflated balls he kept as a souvenir..
update so i returned the ridicoulous priced parts for a $182 FULL REFUND
went to my normal auto parts store and got both for $82 bucks...lifetime warranty
