Aftermarket Samurai parts for “early
1988” and 1986-1987 model years, provided as an aid in locating what you need. Parts noted as "Original from Suzuki" reference the manufacturer's part number stamped on the part, not the official Suzuki stock number for the
part.
Note that Samurais were the same in the 1986, 1987 and "early 1988" model years. There were slight changes
in the 1988½ model and further (usually minor) changes after that. The majority of Samurais share nearly all parts. Parts verified applicable to multiple model years are listed in the "Early
1988" listing.
Thanks to Paul R. Hoffman for some of the info here, as pertains to 86-87 model years (see below) and also to Larry Robertson, of Dayco, for belt and hose numbers.
No prices here, but a note on how
well they worked (or didn't). Anyone wishing to contribute more aftermarket Suzuki parts info please e-mail ScottGomez.
Pick
one, these are pretty much all the same (except the K&N),
and likely work on almost all years. I only listed them for the
88 because that's all I know they fit.

All
six universals are the same. The first number is the marking on
the original from Suzuki. The second is available through NAPA
dealers. The last is via independent parts dealers and is also
labeled "Precision Universal Joint" and "Moog
Automotive".
All of the parts listed below are
for a 1986 Samurai, but most would probably work with just about any year.
I do quite a bit of four-wheeling and have over 150K miles on the car, so
some of the items may be rather rare to have to replace (like the kingpin
bearings, for example) I keep a printout of most of the following info
sealed in a bag under my hood, for reference during breakdowns far from
home where parts places probably don't know how to spell “Suzuki.”
Washable, cleanable, reusable filter. Ordered through local parts store, cost about $45.
