  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Come on, it wasn't a personal attack towards you or your advice, just an opinion and a poor attempt at humor before I had my coffee.

    It's just that for most people paying $99.00 a piece for upper ball joints is out of the question.
    If you are patient and willing to hunt around, you can often do better.


    I deleted it.

    Just a FYI. Be careful of those lessor expensive parts. Many are now made ib foreign lands that don't give 2 shits about quality or proper performance & longevity. Find out the brand & most importantly WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED!!!!! As an auto tech & shop owner you can't believe what sometimes comes in those "White" boxes.
    Just my dimes worth.

    One thing I see some guys do with their cars is to rip apart the front end and just replace everything in sight with new. IMHO, if the original parts are still OK after so many years of service, it would make more sense to just leave them alone b/c they will likely continue to last. Modern day materials seem to be really crappy lately, particularly ones that are made of rubber or parts that require assembly at the manufacturer by workers who are hardly paid. You should only replace parts that really need replacing. Why take a chance on inferior quality replacement parts if you don't really need them? :Do No:

    Kanter.
    Did any of you read the article on Kanter in Hemmings Classic Car a couple of months ago?
    Pretty interesting.
    They have warehouses filled with bins of parts they either had reproduced, or bought up years ago.
    If they only sell one or two of a particular part in a year, that is ok with them.
    Quite an operation.
