jdmboyee,
Auto zone now match eBay prices if the seller on eBay offer one or more years of warranty on the part that selling on eBay. I recently bought all 4 O2 sensor, Denso brand. The two motor mount and the transmission in auto zone. The supervisor match the price and better quality than eBay. Auto zone supervisor he told one of the employee at the front me, I prefer match the price and take him money and keep it as close to my as customer, that hi go and purchase online because at the end you and I lose the job for not match those prices that are online. we have to compete with online prices. It makes a lot of sense what the supervisor told the employee and I heard. So, if you need the part faster, go to your auto part and buy that way. BTW, I do not work in Auto Zone, I just want to share this too. :-)

Guess it was just your day on the tie rods! Your GS will appreciate the Japanese quality.
I touch off topic but I think Ebay is a crapshoot. According to several books I've read, between 25-50% of the new stuff on Ebay are knock-offs. Fakes, usually made in China, to look just like the original, but often incorporating less expensive materials and engineering practices. Check out China, INC. at the library if you are a reader.
