With a piece of paper and tape measure in hand, measure the distance between all the bolts. Start from the center of the bolt, and measure across to the center of the opposite one. Keep a diagram on your paper and put down the measurements on the lines. Next, measure the distance to the bolt directly next to it. If you do the diagram to scale, you can punch the holes out and lay the diagram over the spare tires you’re shopping for.

we buy cars Just recycling an aluminum can will power a 100 watt light bulb for 20 hours, so think if the whole entire USA recycled one can each. A ton of aluminum saves 37 barrels of oil.

These cars are sold at a very steep price because they are out of production already. The parts are more difficult to find since a few shops will continue to manufacture such parts.

Decide what you want to spend for the part before you go. This can keep you from overspending on your budget. Sometimes these junkyards have staff who will pull the part or get it off a shelf. If you know what you want to spend it will help you determine if you want it from this place at all. Also, find out what they will charge you for it if you find it and pull it yourself. You don’t want to go through the hassle only to leave it behind because their prices are out of reach.

3) Verify that the used part has been cleaned and checked out to make sure it works properly. If you have your part installed on-site, you can be sure that everything is in good shape before you leave the yard!

Auctions: Auctions are fantastic places to find parts that are gently used. People strip their cars down for parts all the time (for various reasons) and many people sell those car parts online to the highest bidder. The best way to find auctions for the parts you are looking for is to search for the car part itself. If you do a car part auction search, the number of results you will get will be incredibly overwhelming. So first locate the part you want and then check out the auction sites listed for it. It will save you mountains of time.

A lot of these sites have price info, OEM parts info, and if you are lucky they sometimes have microfiches attached to them. These detailed illustrations will show you every measurement listed out that pertains to the parts. I have found these to be pretty useful. I found a big catalog of Yamaha ATV parts that went back for at least two decades. These were not knock off parts but actual OEM parts from the original manufacturer and I was ecstatic.
