    Where to get good/cheap Hood Lift supports

    I just bought a 1989 Lincoln Town car

    Does anybody know where I can find good/cheap Lift support shocks for the hood?

    I found these, are they any good?

              check out http://www.autopartsbylou.com/
              I got my last set for the Mark from here. Good stuff and good prices too. They even beat Rock with the discount.

                  Glad to have helped. Always good to comparison shop as they always vary. No one site is the lowest all the time so we need to "keep 'em honest"!

                      Rockauto does tend to have a lot of parts especially OEM stuff for us so they are a good source.

                        Would you go to an online store to get tune up parts???

                        Fuel Filter
                        Spark Plugs
                        Spark Plug wires
                        Dizzy Cap
                        Dizzy rotor

                        Would you guys go to rockauto, partsbylou, autoanything, etc. to get these parts? Trust em?

                          Check out Rock or even Amazon! Both have OEM for those parts which I always personally use. Go with the Motorcraft plugs and NOT Autolite. Could even, sometimes, get a deal at EBAY but need to check the prices.

                            always price check around. I've even got the best deals from the local parts stores from time to time. It does happen.
