Brodizzle83 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Has anyone bought parts for their car from 1A Auto? I'm thinking of getting g a set of their front wheel bearings and front/rear struts for my '96 Grand Prix.

jiggity76 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I got a set of rear trailing arms from them for the 96 sedan. Good quality and good price I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I would opt to get wheel bearings elsewhere from an actual known brand personally. You can get Moog, Timken, or SKF from Rockauto for around $50ish each. They currently have some Moog's that are on closeout from some location for $36.XX a piece with a 30 day warranty. Even though Moog has went to offshore manufacturing years ago, the wheel bearings still seem to be solid quality from what I've seen so far. I have one on a personal vehicle that's been right around 30,000 miles in the last two years for what it's worth. If your bearings aren't actually bad, I woudn't be changing them just to change them. It's not uncommon for wheel bearings to outlive the car on 1st Gens. Between two w-bodies with about 500,000 miles combined, I've only had to swap out one of the original wheel bearings so far. digitaloutsider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitzel Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Watch Rockauto for close-outs on the struts. KYB is preferred around here. Lots of nice videos of routine W-Body repairs from 1AAuto's youtube channel. They've helped me out immensely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
