Rack bolt cost?

[Whiskeydan]

I was in PHX a week or so ago with some time on my hands. Past by a MB dealer, stopped and ask for a 617 IP rack dampener bolt. (since I was there)
They quoted me $114. NOT in stock.
Is that the going price these days? Wow!

Other source(s) for this part?

Uhh... Fastlane? $73.04
makes me glad I got mine for 40 way back when

Thanks. I always thought it was only available thru the dealer.

I recall paying around $50 for one a few yrs back so, I'd expect 70ish. Not $114.

Wow,
I just got one I think for $37 bucks plus shipping, and I was choking on that! It was either Performance prod. or Mercedes Source. Can't remember.....

I always check Fastlane first, and even if they are a couple of bucks more I support them when I can. However, if the difference is significant, $ is $!

I might need one of those soon....my engine likes to hop around on hot days, but when its not super heated up it idles smooth as silk.......its just after coming off the freeway on a real hot day that it becomes a 7.3L Ford Powerstroke idling at the light
