I still think if the part is still not completely broken, why try to replace it and cause more problems? When the old part breaks, well then I have no choice but to take on the job and fix it. Once I fix it, I then wonder myself as to why was I so scared of tackling it before? It was pretty straight forward.
I don't have parts currently but years ago my power steering pump and front brake calipers kept breaking on my old Isuzu Trooper. I kept spares of them.
Parts are too expensive to stock in my garage. I have about a half-dozen car parts stores and a dealership within a 5 mile radius of my house.
