OEM Parts

Hello

I am not sure if this is the right spot for this and I tried looking so if its out there you can flame away heh.

Where do you guys prefer to buy oem parts online?

joe_peters · Feb 13, 2010

If you are talking genuine Mopar parts it varies, mostly where I can find what I want for a 20 year old XJ. Google "mopar discount parts online".

If you are talking replacements for OEM parts then rockauto.com, I am however a price-whore and will shop for the lowest price with shipping.

Yeah I will too, I was just wondering what everyone on here preferred

One of the parts I need to get is the steering wheel column and a wheel and I would like to get the oem parts if I can help it

Krieger · Feb 13, 2010

And thanks for the advice

For a wheel or column, a junkyard should be the best source. That sort of stuff new will break the bank!

jeep "powered by trademotion"

Google that as it appears, including the quotes; it'll pull up pretty much every Mopar parts department available online. From there it's just a case of comparison shopping based on either price or availability.

I was going to check the junk yard for a column but I am going to need the keys for it..should I expect them to have the keys?

Probably not, but if you're going to the trouble of swapping steering columns, replacing the ignition switch won't take much time at all.

Or, on your way home from the salvage yard (sounds so much better than junk yard, besides, junk yards are for Chevys right?) stop in at your local favorite locksmith (a real locksmith) and have him/her (gotta be PC) re-key the "new" column to match your old keys.

Krieger · Feb 14, 2010

Alright I'll look into doing that with the locksmith if the yard doesn't have the keys

heh yeah salvage yard sounds much better!

I prefer "Used Parts Emporium" That should please the "politically correct" crowd. Those guys are trying to convince us that you can pick up a turd by the clean end!!!!

For the column, see if you can find a part-out in your area (check the North Atlantic Chapter classifieds sub-forum) that would be best.

FYI - we just picked up a column off ebay. If the ebay column went too high, we were going to AMC4x4. They rebuild steering columns. (Could be one of the reasons why decent salvage yard cores are hard to find around here.) AMC4x4 is not as cheap as ordinary salvage yards, but I've always found them to do a good job.

While we found some salvage yards have columns, with keys, most of the columns are missing something important like the spring in the horn or the steering wheel.
