While I was on vacation i just happened to break an axle at the dragstrip.... Well after tracking one down I went to the advance hub store, and while there i looked up a control arm(ball joint). In tennessee they are $ 26.99 and here in florida they are $ 41.99 at advance. So I thought wtf??? I used to manage an advance but i never knew that they priced stuff according to the local market and competition. So if you want to save a little just have any advance auto parts store call the store in nashville tn. on donelson road or pm me and i will get all of them you want. I am going to call and price alot of parts from that store. How much are control arms in your area?

That's kind of wild that there is that much difference in price. Autozone's website lists the price at 41.99 pretty much no matter what zip code I put in. Wonder if it's just some kind of special they're running, or if that's their regular price.Last edited by batstiva; 06-30-2009, 10:41 PM.
