I believe that a parts list with cross reference numbers was our together by someone on this list. Gary do we have that in our tech section?

I found a guy there that doesn't mind breaking out the catalogs for the older stuff and I got a glimpse into the thing while I helped him research the part. If my memory serves correct, boots for just about any end of of a suspension component were listed with an individual part number per it's intended connection point. If one was to go to a manufacturer's website and come up with a good part number from their listings, it can save a bunch of headaches with the "younger computer guys". They can't find it, (or won't look for it), but most times they are all over cross-reference if they have a number and a manufacturer to start with. The little stuff is available if you search effectively. Recently noticed a SUMMIT listing on Ebay for a pack of six torsion bar clips with a part number for the pack. I didn't even know this configuration was available, and last I heard the only way to get said clip was to but the entire Mopar torsion bar boot and clip package which is around $80. and stupidly priced at that. As an additional tidbit, I also checked with the local Auto Zone: they also found the pitman arm, (both had to order it as it wasn't a stocked piece), the Zone guy's part was an Auto Zone brand which he said was "made for them by Perfect Circle and was miles ahead of any MOOG junk I might find anywhere else". The Auto Zone part was $17. cheaper and supposedly would have arrived three days sooner but something about this just didn't ring true so I trusted my instincts and went with the independant guy that was seemingly more interested in helping me find the correct part I needed. Personally, I haven't heard and bad info on MOOG components, has anyone here heard something to the contrary?
