Gmpartsdirect.com Or???

so I looked at their site, I’m in need of new rear shock bolts (upper and lower) as well as sway bar link bolts (both sides as well) for the shorter links for a lowered application. I can’t find them on there. I was wondering where else should I look or does a sponsor on here have some. Thanks!

Normally I use https://www.gmpartsonline.net to get the part number, then search for the cheapest price between eBay, Amazon, RockAuto, etc.

A lot of the online GM parts sellers like Tasc, GM Parts Direct, etc will have cheap prices listed, but then murder you on shipping. I've had hit/miss luck getting local dealer parts counters to match the online prices.

DJM rear sway bar end links.

For small things like that, isn't it just easiest to go to your local dealer? That's what, $20 or $30 of fasteners, at most?

DJM rear sway bar end links.

The problem is where/how to buy them. It doesn't seem that DJM sells them separate. Only part of a more expensive rear "kit".

I emailed them and they sent me a link. But they want $22 to ship them for a $64 product. That’s a hard one to swallow

Yeah, that sucks. If leaving the links just straight was viable, that's a relatively easy fix. Cut the stock ones, thread each end, and get a threaded coupling to make the length adjustable.

But in addition to being shorter, the DJM ones are offset and relocate the sway bar a little for pandhard bar mount and sometimes shock clearance for when it articulates.

 

[Hi-psi]

Good approach to using the factory style straight links and still off-setting the swaybar. So, using the idea of cutting the factory links in half, removing a little length in the center, then threading the rods/shafts and using a threaded coupling for adjustment is certainly a good budget alternative now that the DJM ones can't be had affordably.

Or if you have a the skill and a welder, just cut the factory ones, measure, remove length, weld back together.

GMPartsDirect.com is a JOKE and waste of time! Their customer service is NON-EXISTANT! Try looking up water pump or oil pump for 04 Tahoe, no listing that I found. Every other nonsensical part comes up when you search, but not what you're looking for with a directed search.

So I tried calling them MULTIPLE TIMES, no answer and no returning the voicemail left. Tried Emailing them too....no reply at all.

What the H is wrong with that company?
