I've only purchased a steering coupler from them. I was just going to use it til I got a nos one, but it seems to be of pretty good quality, so I may just use it.
My father in law also replaced his kingpins, tie rods, center link, drag link, and some bushings with parts from there. They were of excellent quality. From what I've seen I would recommend them and plan to use them in the future.

I use them all the time, they have good parts and good deals...shipping can get a bit high if you buy multiple parts and they come from different places other than that they are recomended

They carry all the parts and brand your regular auto parts store will carry. At a reduced cost even after shipping.

If you aren't happy with the brands your local Napa, AutoZone, advanced, carquest, O'Reilly, Baxter or whoever else sells then you won't care for Rock auto.

quality of parts really has no bearing on any one store, and a lot of them are the same parts in different boxes.
i prefer to inspect any parts before buying.

They cant be no worse than "auto shack" was in the 1980s. Ive had old ford trucks sinc 8S and i had to depend on my 63. And they then were the only ones that could over night parts. Tha others took up to a week.

Rock Auto does a good job in my opinion of giving you as many choices as possible from different manufacturers when you need a part.
