Suspension over haul

Ok looking to over haul the front suspension on my 94 LSi. Is there any were to get ball joints, out tie rods, control arm bushings, struts and mounts besides the dealer? Is there other vehicles that I can use their parts on the SVX, with little to no modifications? Any help would be great.

Thanks

Which auto stores? I have tried Napa, Autozone, Advance, Murray's, and Pepboys with no luck. I have found a few things but still cheaper at the dealer.

Their parts are so much cheaper that for me, even after shipping, exchange, and brokerage fees I'm still saving money over dealer parts.

I believe there was talk of Earthworm trying to get control arm bushings fabricated for a group buy. I think he has sway bar and differentials bushings left over from a previous group buy.

Lots of info on after market struts just do a search & you'll be overwhelmed.

Mychailo sells a raft of suspension parts check the member's list for mbtoloczko

Also check out motor sport warehouse http://svx-motorsport-accessories.st...trutsrear.html

Ask for Dayle. He's a regular on this site.
