Does anyone know of a source for a front end suspension kit for a '62 plymouth valiant? There's oil and dirt damage on the bushings and *possibly* the ball joints ( not sure about the ball joints but it's better to be safe then sorry ). If anyone knows of a kit for a good price please let me know - it would be greatly apreciated.

This is my favorite place for suspension parts. ( believe me, everybody on this board is trying to find the best source for 40 year old suspension parts).

Nice people, too.

PST is good. ESPO is good. My personal favorite is Performance Suspension Components (different than Performance Suspension Technologies- PST). Their website is http://www.performancesuspension.com/. When I've called them, they have had guys who know (and drive) old Mopars and really know their stuff. They even stayed ahead of me as I ordered stuff- "thats a '73, you know you should get new K-frame isolators, right? And don't forget strut-rod bushings, those are absolutely critical..." etc.

I have also ordered from PST. the only problem I had was their bolts for the leaf springs are weak (75 duster), I tightened mine down and they snapped right off. they sent me new ones after I complained, and so far they have held up okay.

I purchased a front end "kit" from PST also. I also had to purchase inner tie-rod ends (90$) and a grease gun (15$) and the ball joint socket (20$)also before the job could be done. I should've paid the extra 300$ to get the master kit with a sway bar. PST is good, but they are skimpy on the kits unless you are a big spender.
