Default GM Parts

Someone here once posted a web address for GM parts that cost less than dealer prices. I've searched and looked through old topics, but I can't find the link. I need a cabin filter and a power steering hose.

The dealer said it is part number 26079289 for the power steering hose. It'* not hard to replace, is it?

Sorry
The Hose is $28 at Autozone; $80+ at GmParts
The cabin filter is either $40 (carbon) or $15 (particle) at AutoZone.

Right now, money is tight for me. I don't want to put myself in danger buying junk parts, but if it works the same, why pay more . . .

Well that is surprising to me that there is that much price difference between GMPD and AZ, but I would not hesitate to replace with an AZ PS hose. I've done it before with no failures.

If the parts are available at AZ, Murray'*, NAPA, etc., the savings are usually too good to pass up. I haven't had any problems with AZ parts... but I don't always get the cheapest parts... brake pads, for example.
