Where can I get online good front end parts for my 86 pickup. I live on a treacherous dirt road and need to do ball joints and tie rod ends and shocks.

 

I have researched balljoints quite a bit lately for my own truck, and it looks like OEM is the only way to go. I would lean towards OEM for tie rod ends also, given that most of them originally made it over 200k before wearing out. Most of the online parts dealers give you discount rates. I found that shipping varies quite a bit between dealers, so keep that in mind. I used toyotapartsdeal.com for my last parts order, but there might be better options depending on what you buy and where you live. There should be plenty of recommendations here on Yotatech. I am still researching shocks for my own truck, but I know Bilsteins are suppose to be good quality and lifetime warranty.
