g'day all

who is the best source of front end bushes/parts for my 64 olds 98????, have a few sad wishbone bushs and would like to change em b4 going for regerstration
any help /advice would be great

 

Rock auto.com or Kantners

 

Kanter

Rockauto is one word.

Go for Moog brand parts if you have a choice. They cost a little more but the quality is good.

 

I would also suggest Kanter or Rock Auto. I rebuilt the front end on my 64 98 many years ago and used parts from PST. Their prices were ok but the customer service was lacking. I think they market more parts for "performance" cars.

 

Kanter is probably your best bet for a 1964 full size. The full size cars are not well supported any more, even by the normal replacement part vendors like Moog.

 

many thanks guys , will be checkin these places out .....

 

just looked , kanter seems the best as has all items in stock...just waiting to see the freight cost to oz....(wish me luck!)

 

Hopefully the freight costs won't be too high. At least the suspension rebuild parts don't weight alot (bushings, ball joints, tie rods, etc.).

 

still waitin for the guys at kanter to get back to me on the postage cost, are they always this slow????

 

I just found this place, seems to be pretty well stocked.
www.p-s-t.com

 

As I mentioned, PST has "so-so" customer service and doesn't seem to carry as many parts for full sized cars.

If you're still waiting to hear from Kanter send them another e-mail. It shouldn't take more than an afternoon for them to get you the shipping costs.

 

G'day all ... story so far ...well i have contacted several of the recommened suppliers of front end parts , trying to order asking for shipping cost to OZ , i have even placed a order and still waiting for a confirmation for postage ...i started doing this over a week ago . ..and bugger me NO ONE has bothered to get back to me , now please guys im not havin a go at anyone here , im really shocked that none of "these " dealers see's a $250 order important....so after lookin on ebay and being held to ransom buy ebays shipping prices ...i accidenetly got ...onto amozon, and stuff me the complete order , upper/ lower bushes. ball joint $130+$25 bucks freight to oz , all done confirmed paid for in less than 5minutes, ...............i gets me , i WOULD RATHER SUPPORT A PROPER STORE ANYDAY but i got no servicE...im not a whinger or complainer , but i give up on these guys ......RANT OVER

 

Hey, no worries and whatever it takes to work.
What was the actual vendor on Amazon? Was it "sold by amazon"? Still Moog parts? That does sound like a screaming deal!

 

This is why Amazon will compete with Google to one day rule the world.

For now, though, I'm glad you seem to have finally gotten your parts, we hope.

 

Sounds like you chose a place, but I just found this one, good prices and Moog parts. http://www.carpartsdiscount.com/ might want to check it out for other stuff!

 

Nah, Apple won't allow it.

 

hey thanks , this place has the stuff ! i will try my next order with these guys and i will let you all know ,

 

the parts vendor was "amazon" , i couldnt believe it myself

 

i just checked these parts are ac/delco and raybestos , keep ya posted

 

well i still have not heard from any of the big parts suppliers i emailed , im really dissappointed , so far i have spent around $600 on new olds parts(front end/ brake parts) , but thru ebay and amozon ...mate if i cant even get a reply i would really hate to order some parts , i have had amazon sending me 3 traxin updates already which is pretty damm good

 

well guys i recieved my parts thru amazon on wedsneday , no problems , im that happy i have just ordered some more parts thru em....and $17bucks in freight!!!
im still waiting for any type of anwser from them "big suppliers" ...nobody im still shocked , my brother even attempted to order sum carpet for his 66 olds 98 coupe , and the same thing he is still waiting for a reply , in the end it has been done by a local motor trimmer......i just dont get it??? in oz we are always hearing in the news how hard work/bussiness is doing in the US, beleive me im not a person who normally complains but i know if i did bussiness like this we would be out of bussiness(my brother is a car wholesaler and has a large used car lot )
i bought a reman brake booster for my 64 olds off a "big time "seller thru ebay... i was so happy bought and paid $135 +55 for freight straight away , i get a message thru ebay a couple of days later saying the seller has cancelled my sale ... no explanation....no refund offered ..so when i email the seller i am told that the manufacture dont make this unit anymore (centric)... although the ebayer had 2 listed at the same time ....anyway i had to wait 3 weeks for a refund , and only when i put a claim thru paypal........ the seller could not be bothered nor ever offered me a refund, .when i left neg feedback the seller asks if i change my bad feedback he will give me a discount on the next item i by from him....f/no!!!.....
sorry rant over again

 

It's due to the Coriolis effect. Shipping is a problem because packages spin counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere.
