Title: What to do with old parts?
Post by: Cwkick on May 18, 2005, 04:07:19 AM

After my Calmini 2" lift, I have some parts left over.  Factory A-arms, diff. drop brackets, rear springs.  What do I do with all this stuff.  

I'm not going to put it back on, and the stuff doesn't sell on ebay, so do I toss it or what?

Any idea's?

I have the same problem.

You could offer it up for FREE, here - you pay the shipping, and it's yours!

I got rid of my plastic rocker panel covers doing the "it's yours, pay shipping" ... it was a 5lb package to nova scotia ($20 in shipping), but the buyer was happy ... go figure.

Our stock pile of old parts is huge.
I keep trying to find other suzuki people to dump them on, only to find out they have huge parts piles too.

That was me!!! They did the trick, got me through safety inspection for another year.

I ended up tossing mine in the shop scrap pile so Scott could get a little $'s off of it when he took the scrap trailer to the recyclers. I still have all the stock stuff off of my X-90 sitting in the floor beside my parts tracker ::) One of these day's I'm actually going to get a flat bed to pick it up and bring it over to my house (if Scott does not burn it first) :P

Glad they worked for ya ... I just kept looking at them in a pile thinking "who would want those?" ... guess you never know. Strange you need them for "safety"  ;)

You could use the A arms as headstones for broken CV's and Front Thirds.

Weld the springs together to make a fancy mailbox pole.

I'm a little stumped on the diff brackets though, maybe clean them up paint a smile on them and sell them as modern art?

;D ;D ;D
