One of my liftgate ball studs broke off.

I found this pack of 4 for $14.

I have some other things to order from there, and adding these won't add any shipping and handling costs. I'm trying to decide whether or not to go ahead and buy them for $14 or get some from a salvage yard. What is your opinion?

YES! Buy them and keep spares. Those factory ball studs are just a little stronger than string cheese and will twist the head off when you try to remove them.
