used brake rotors & drums...HELP !!

[Archive]

HELLLLP !!!
the bozo who owned my "new" 99 2wd quad let the brakes go to the point where the rotors are cracked and the drums are shot! wouldn't have wanted to be the guy in front of him going downhill pulling his 5th wheel !
dealer parts are $$$ out of the question , aftermarket parts(rotor= $170/drum=$100) are darn pricey and i can't find squat in any junkyard,er,salvage boutique.
anybody got any leads on a source of used parts? maybe CTD's don't get wrecked ... we know they don't die... Thanks!!

carparts.com has Bendix rotors for $69,probibly have drums cheap also. Although I hit the junk yard regularly,I wouldn't trust brake parts from them.

Have you tried napaonline.com, or mopar4less.com? I've found prices cheaper at my local napa store than online, but I have an idea of costs before I go. I haven't tried mopar4less yet.

Racerman:
Remember the auto repair places use "new" parts from the parts yard. When I wanted a certain bumper I saw at a parts in Morrow, Georgia, I was asked for my dealer no. I had none and could not buy. It seem anything newer than a 94 is off limits.
Just my expererce.
