Agreed on parts these days – just fought a new fuel pump from Korea. Really liked finding the adjuster kite repro - but could not find 100% of the springs repro – and the local NOS house had a fire in the building that housed their brake springs – so
did end up re-using a couple springs and saving the others for spares.

On Behalf Of neal zimmerman Has there been a massive collapse of quality and availablity in mopar brake parts.?? I have done probably 20 brake jobs on mopars in my life and never, ever, had the difficulty I am now experiencing. The only parts that have been trouble
free have been the bearings and brake hoses. Everything else is crap. Brake drums that are too wide, , return spring kits that look nothing like the manual, bearing seals loose in the bore, master cylinders that look nothing like the original, and even one
from Oreillys that had rusty dirty brake fluid in it when I opened it up. Thought I had it all ready finally, but yesterday one of the wheel cylinders starts leaking out one end. I have looked everywhere locally and online. The NAPA here supposedly has the
most Mopar availability because that show, Graveyard Carz , is based here and he gets his parts at NAPA but they really didn't come thru any better than anywhere else. Personally I am wondering if I shouldn't just rip it all out and spend a few thousand on
a front and rear aftermarket 4 wheel disc setup. I have bought new and rebuilt stuff and it doesn't matter its all junk. Wondering if the car is even safe to drive. Had to reuse all the return springs for instance. Neal Zimmerman , Eugene Oregon -- -- -- Please address private email -- email of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
