What brand of parts should I buy?

[89accordlx33]

I need to replace the radiator, all the ball joints, water pump. What brand of parts has anyone else used? I keep reading horror stories of cheap ball joints breaking. I got the car for free, (240,000 miles) so I didn't want to dump the blue book value into it but it will be my commuter car. I was thinking McQuay-Norris for ball joints.

well from what i heard the Koyo radiators are the best option of radiator that we can get. mine was 115 bucks you can pick a OEM replacement for like 70 bucks

for ball joints either genuine honda or moog. Only use honda water pumps

Paid $99 for radiator at O'Reillys w/ lifetime warranty. Ball joints, go with Moog, as with any suspention parts. Honda OEM if you got the cashola....

Agree on OEM Honda water pump, but if you feel like pulling it out, most offer lifetime warranty.
