Re: Lower strut rod bushings

["Speed_Freak351w" <coostv@xxxx>]

NAPA has those bushings for $21 per side. I tried to reply via Email 
but it seems my messages do not post. Not even my self introduction.

NCP 2749054 is the part number. I personally hate the local Auto 
Value, but I do not like the NAPA right down the street either, nope 
I drive clear across town to the NAPA where my buddy works.
