I agree that OEM parts are better for the most part, but they just charge too much. Most people can't afford dealership prices and I'm not sure what the dealership offers for a warranty on their parts. For instance, I just bought some axles from NAPA for $120/pair (+ core) and they come with a lifetime warranty. Granted, I did have to take one back cause it was bad, but they gave me another one without a question.

I'm not trying to rag on you man, but if I had the experience and knowledge that you did, I would be helping everyone out and giving expert advice/instruction rather than trying to make people feel badly for not "knowing" what you do. jmo though...

99love, if you can't find them cheaper than what they offer at my NAPA, I'll be happy to get them for you and ship them (you pay of course. )
