Good source for front end parts?

I'm wanting to rebuild my front end and I'm shopping around for balljoints/tie rod ends and can't believe how much there are.

Locally, Autozone wants $69 for each ball joint, but I've seen Mid-America Corvette sells a rebuild kit for $139 which includes all four balljoints and the outer tie-rod ends, but I don't know if these are maybe Moog parts or just some cheap junk...

Does anyone know anything about Mid America's set, or where to get reasonable prices on the parts, whether online or a store?

TIA

I think ecklers sells a very cheap whole front kit. I don't know anything about the make/quality of the parts though.

I can't say the same for some of the others. Many of the larger vendors are carring some parts made in China to keep prices down... which unfortunately the market is demanding. When it comes to Corvette parts, price is almost never a valid reason to purchase from one vendor over another... quality should always come first in my book.

Good luck... GUSTO
