I am looking for a place in the southside area to buy some parts for a 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege. I am located at the Va Beach/Chesapeake line.

I need these parts for the front passenger side:
-lower control arm
-swaybar endlink
-strut (no spring, strut only)

I tried Bap Geon and Advance Auto but they only were able to get the strut. Know any other places besides the dealership where I might be able to order these parts ASAP? I'd rather find a place that carries all three parts at once, hence why I didn't order the strut from the other places.

Thanks very much,
Preston

 

i'm a member on rx8club.com and Rosenthal Mazda is one of the vendors. their website doesn't have MS Protege, but i'm sure if you give them a call and ask for Tommy he can help you out. i've ordered several times from them and my products usually arrive within 3 days. it's still a dealership, but they are very reliable and usually have better prices than some of them around here. hope that helps.

 

If your looking for used parts. I am guessing you are.. www.car-parts.com shows a control arm for your car at Ross Used parts in Hampton for $75. I imagine they have more of the stuff you need.

 

I can vouche for Tommy also. He is a great guy to work with.

 

Thanks alot, I will give them a call tomorrow. I'll also call Tommy and see how much a new one is.

Anybody else know somewhere? It's Thanksgiving so I've got a day left for suggestions.
