Default Price markup? What price markup?
So, the pickup has developed a pretty annoying vibration in the left front at 60-65mph. Take it to the local Chevy dealer and find out the left front wheel bearing assembly is caput. $633.80 to fix JUST THE LEFT SIDE!

So I get online and find what I need through 1A Auto, for $ 94.95 for both sides. Guess I get to test my grease monkey skills again. Does anyone have any dealings with 1A Auto? TIA.

Only 75% of people believe that. The other half don't understand math.
