Default General question

Hi there, I recently bought a used 2002 Millenia S model with approx 150,000 miles on her. I am giving her a full exam and I am wanting to replace some parts. What I need is a lower control arm bushing- front lower rear position. I went to Mazda and they want my left arm for it ($128) I looked on-line and found may sites that sell parts but most of them are all out of stock. I did find this site https://www.partswebsite.com/mazdapa...i=6&type=parts

They have it for $58 with shipping included. My question is should I save $70 and go with them and can I trust this company? Is there a better place to find decently priced parts?

that site is a genuine mazda dealer. if the bushing you want is on the rear of the front lower control arm, which bolts to the body, that part is T001-34-460C, and has a mazda of north america suggested list price of 60.16. the best online discounted price is 41.50, from http://www.tascafordparts.com//index.do. i get almost all of my mazda parts from this dealer, they have the best prices on the web. dealers are individual franchises, and they do NOT have to go by mazda of north america suggested list prices. and none do. the few that do also sell on the web, and competition makes them go by mna prices. you might be able to get your local dealer to match pricing with shipping, but most wont.

You are a life saver Keninn! You have saved me a total of $83.11. I ordered the bolt that went with the control arm and I got it for $2.00 when the greedy TUCSON DEALERSHIP wanted $8.54!!! Thank you
