You can still get tie rods, ball joints, and stuff like that from most autoparts stores. I've never replaced any bushings in my LUV so I don't think I can help you there, but I imagine you can get some of those from parts stores as well.

A word of advice though, the upper balljoint on the LUV is held on by one huge nut. I have seen some upper balljoints come with this nut, but the ones that I bought did not. Since mine were rusted I had to cut them off and have new ones made. It was expensive and not to mention a pain to find a guy that was actually able to do it. You might want to do a little research and find out which ones come with the nut in the box so you don't have to go through what I did. At the worst just make sure you take the extra time to get the nuts off in one piece.

yeah when i went on the site i was like COOL. now you don't have to call to find a part. the best thing is, you type in your zip code and it'll tell you if it's in stock or special order at you nearest autozone :D :D 8)
