Decided to fix the stabilizer links on Kelly's clunky car. Last time I changed them they lasted about a week and they were supposed to be Moog top-of-the-line parts. This time I got the cheap Pep boys ones; well, they aren't made right. After fighting one for about two hours I concluded this isn't going to work and put the old one back on. I went online to see about getting my Moogs replaced under warranty only to find out I could have bought the PB cheapies online for $15 less than I paid over the counter with my commercial discount. I think I may be done with going to a store and just buy my stuff online now.

Seems EVERYTIME I try to fix something my "new" parts aren't up to snuff in any way shape or form. It's gotten so bad I almost refuse to work on anything anymore but what can you do?!...
 
Man, I know the drill! Replaced the starboard engine mount on Diesela about two years ago. Now it is smooshed about an inch. replaced the port side a few weeks ago and will re-replace the other soon.
 
Got steering universals a couple years ago for one of mine. When I went to install them I discovered the rollers were about half the length of the ones in the joints removed, and there was enough space around them to insert 1-2 more that I salvaged from the old joints. The length of the rollers also made them hard to install since it was so easy to knock one over while trying to press the caps into the column.
