Tie Rods...

[garnerbiker]

I am leaving on an extended off-road trip in Death Valley in 4 days. I was trying to locate spare tie rods for the H3 and followed links to a few places. Here is what I have found.

At At Alldiscountparts.com
inner set of 2 - $46.62 #15217199
outer set of 2 - $60.18 #15217992
boot $22.97
overnight from Flint, MI to them $50.00
overnight from them to me in Vegas $38.93

At Towbin Hummer in Vegas
one inner - $118.45
one outer - $152.92
one boot - $38.99
they could not get them to me for a whole week!


So, I asked the dealer why such a huge price difference. They said that the online place was tring to sell me parts that go to the Colorado/Canyon platform and they were half as strong. Could they have really been trying to sell me those parts online? I had to give them my VIN #, so I thought that these would be the correct replacements. Those prices for the single rods are extreme! Now, I have realized that I will not have them for the trip and will pursue the tie rod dilema farther when I return, hopefully not on the back of a tow truck.
