I have a 85 Firebird that needs all front suspension linkage replaced, soon.

I'm pricing out vendors.

Parts asking for.
TRW/MOOG
Tie Rod ends (2 each side - Total four )
Idler Arm (1)
Center Link (1)

SO FAR
Northern Auto Parts is hands down winner at $232.74 + $12 for shipping.

Summit is $290 + $8 for shipping

Can you suggest any other vendor for a lower price?

I am not including new sleeves for this front end rebuild of mine. I buy & use jam nuts for better securing purposes.

I am sure that shortly the list may include front lower A Arm ball joints & the bushings (rubber or poly). That can happen at a later date I hope!

There are no upper A Arms on these thirds gens (like on my 1967 & 1968 Camaro or my 85 Blazer or my 1974 Corvette), correct?

Thanks for tips!

Looks like you found the cheapest.....Same parts from www.rockauto.com are $250 + shipping. I'm looking for these same parts. If you find them any cheaper somewhere else let me know........Thanks

I also have a buddy who works at Autozone that will price out this shopping list, too.

What I do in end is go to two local vendors with the cash & ask them if they want to sell me this stuff at this (mail order) price (I pay sales tax, so I don't count shipping).
Sometimes these local vendors want the money.
Other times, nah, they pass.

Northern Auto is 800-831-0884

Who can answer my question about my lower arm & amount of bushings/ball joints I need?
