I have a '99 Cherokee 2 door with 240k and absolutely stock suspension from what I can tell and would like to replace all of it for ride quality and handling. Front springs and isolators, upper and lower control arms, rear spring packs (standard load), shocks and steering stabilizer which is leaking.


I want to get good quality parts like Moog, Dorman etc. but I don't want to break the bank since it's my winter driver.


Is there a company that will work with you to give you a break on prices if you buy everything together? I have really had good luck with Amazon and their fast free shipping.


Your thoughts are welcome thanks!

 

Amazon usually has some good deals. Look at Quadratec and Morris 4x4 as well.

 

Check out RockAuto.com, they usually have pretty good pricing even lower than Amazon sometimes. I usually check there and Amazon and pick whichever one works out cheaper with shipping.

Moog is a good brand, Dorman is OK for stock replacements but I have no experience with their suspension parts. Rockauto actually stocks alot of actual Mopar parts too. Adding to your list I would also do the track bar too, they tend to wear out eventually too. Check out all your tie rod ends too and see if the boots are still in good shape. If they're leaking grease everywhere just replace them too and then get an alignment done after you change everything.

 

Are you looking for stock replacement only?

 

Rockauto will regularly try to kill you with shipping costs despite their good prices.

 

Yeah I have noticed that Rock Auto has great prices, but their shipping is extremely expensive, Amazon however is free 2 day. I am only looking for stock replacement, no lift.

 

I get hardware from NAPA typically.

 

Check Summit, best prices and no shipping.

 

Rockauto is great!


.....as long as everything goes smoothly. But even the best of companies make mistakes once in a while. If there is a problem, even if it's entirely their fault, expect to be treated like dirt, to be insulted, and to pay exorbitant shipping and restocking fees.

 

Replaced all my steering from the pitman to the wheels. Also track bar, stabilizer and sway bar links and bushings. All from amazon and mostly ac delco. No problems. The adjuster sleeve and stabilizer were some off brand that were cheaper. Best prices I could find without buying some dirt cheap unknown brand.

 

You will get a higher quality product there than Amazon=CHINA.COM 90+% of the time and as for warranty try China a few times and see how ell you do.


Amazon will be the downfall of every small local business we have and American made items they SUCK for auto parts! We need to support what we currently have left... I do use Summit, Jegs and the larger 4x4 suppliers that carry a lot of XJ items these are very important to us as a group and we need to support them with our buying power!!!

 

I agree. There's a napa about a quarter of a mile from me. Know the family that owns it well. I get a discount there and can grab parts and pay later. A lot of napa parts are made from other well known manufacturers and repackaged. And when money is tight I go with the cheapest. A lot of their stuff is priced very competitively with amazon too. My biggest problem is they are only open the same hours as I am at work and closed Sundays.

 

I don't know why everyone bashes on Amazon so hard, they have a lot of people in the United States working in their shipping and handling departments, also if you're buying the same brand parts on Amazon as Napa they come from the same place. Amazon has free 2 day shipping, which is nice because I can order in my free time and not have to spend gas to go to some parts store once or twice depending on if they even have the parts, which most of the people in the parts stores around here are clueless anyway. They give reviews so you can see what people think about the product, which most autoparts stores don't have. Amazon has a great return policy also.

 

Might I ad that when i do order from amazon I only order if it's directly from amazon. If it ships directly from china forget it. What I meant in my last post was that I can get the same parts from amazon as napa and usually they're a little cheaper sometimes a lot. For instance I bought a cat for my van from napa for $180. Kicked myself after I got it and it was a walker, searched the part number on amazon and it was $100 cheaper on amazon. That's why I reaserch the heck out of stuff before I buy. Certain things like when I bought my water pump I went napa. It was only about $38. Sure I could have bought some cheapo junk on amazon for like $25 but when it comes to a critical part paying $13 more is money well spent. But if I can get an all ac delco steering replacement cheaper through amazon then I sure will. I use amazon for convenience but still shop smart.

 

I'll kill myself before I work for amazon warehouses. Nothing but horror stories. I wouldn't mind working at NAPA. Therefore, my money goes there.
