Default Best price for balljoint/tierod end

Title says it all. I am going to replace the lower balljoints and outer tierods on the old GS but want to know what online vendor has the best price. Thanks for looking.

I ordered mine from Sewell Lexus and the prices were good. Plus you get a discount from being a member on here when you create your account with Sewell.

Thanks for the advice. Do you remember roughly how much?

Wouldn't it have been cheaper is you went directly to your local dealer? The list price on it is only $85 each side. Or was that for both sides?

The lower ball joints were $112, I can't give a specific price for shipping because I ordered other parts as well. Hope it helps

Another vote for rock auto - I got a set of Moog's and they were made in japan. Nice looking parts! I did the inner and outer tie rods with the ball joints and my steering is rock solid now - no shake or vibration.

Hey DRELOC - where were the Beck&Arnley balljoints made? I was deciding between those and the Moog's and ended up going with the Moog's for all the parts. Let us know. thanks,

Scott

There's a member here posted a Beck&Arnley balljoint with "made in Japan" stamped on it and supposedly they're OEM suppliers forgot his USN though sorry. I didn't get a look at my balljoints at the time who made it since i was aiming on getting my car running right away but so far I have no issue since it's been a year already.
