| Post subject: | Best deal/source for front end rebuild kits |
I'm getting close to ordering a front end rebuild kit. I'll be rebuilding the front end of my '66 Dart long-roof for street/cruise use. I took a look at some of the links from the www.bigblockdart site. Do anyone have recommendations for vendors or specific packages from vendors? |

I have had good luck with ESPO. The woman who is the co-owner told me that she orders and uses the name brand stuff ( like MOOG). I would call them first. Greg http://www.espo.com/ |

Do not go with Just Suspension! I did and all of the boots were torn within a couple of years. Bob D |

Hmmm... I bought JC Whitney ball joints for my 1976 Valiant several years ago. The boots split open before I even backed the car out of the garage. Shame on them to sell such crap.Bob D The original boots were still good after 25 years. Think I'll have to put those back on. |

I noticed that PST has a "super" kit that includes inner tie rod ends, idler arm and more. Is it worth the extra $100 over the ESPO kit? |

Sorry! :oops:I will never ask again, until I forget anyway. I never bought a kit, but I have never got into trouble with any of the individual parts i have used either...and they were from many different brands. |

I know, I didn´t even wonder what it was, but I thought it may be a brand name... Has anyone tried a frontend kit for a f-body? I guess the spring/ "strutrod" bushing could benefit from some stiffer material than the stock rubber? |

In case anyone cares, I ended up purchasing the "super" kit from PST. I went with rubber rather than poly bushings. The kit arrived in 9 days and looks complete although I haven't checked it piece for piece yet. I'll post a report after I get everything installed. |
