Just click [Yes]   lol

The advance around here is where I mainly buy everything  They have a couple of retired mechanics working there and you can tell they are mechanics.  They've actually come up with a few things for me that I didn't think of  and worked perfectly or better than before. 

Napa's pricey and I hate the people at the autozone and the way they run their store bad enough that I won't go in it.  If advance, napa, greenes, parts plus or hills don't have it, the internet does....  somewhere.  Screw autozone and pep boys both.

Sorry i used to play World of Warcraft online. I think it saturated my brain, cause every now and then i accidentally use World of warcraft terms for stuff.

But yeah, autozone. Around here we call it VatoZone cause that's where all the essays go. Cause it's the cheapest. We call their staff the "Clown Squad" lol

I don't know about AZ but I work at a NAPA store and our book lists the special (called "combination") joints in the back of the book. You just look up the two applications and a chart gives you the combination of the two. You still have to have a counterman willing to look in the book, LOL!

If you have an a/p store you frequent set up an account and you can get online access and ordering. Napa, Carquest, Autozone all have it.

thats what we ended up doing napa yes they have most stuff but the prices are more than high most the time there about double. when i worked at autozone not only did i look for stuff the computer said we didn't have we also had books not to many autozoners know how to use. and if someone couldn't find what a customers wanted and i heard about it i would take over bring out a book and take care of it. i guess that why i was getting paid more than most managers lol. but a couple days before we went to napa i stopped by another autozone down the road from my work and he actually stopped what he was doing and looked at "most" of the u joints.

Got a little pay back today at the Zone and Advance lol

Bought a clutch set but the pilot bearing is steel (dont think that is a good thing lol) so I brought the old one back (Took it out with a 3/4 tap) the kid was in the back for like 15 minutes looking for a threaded pilot bearing, did it at Advance too but some old guy was there and told the kid what I did to get it out looks like a dealer item or use steel
