is there a rebuild kit for front end suspension?
 

truck needs tie rods, ball joints, probly pitman and idler arm, not sure what bushings are needed, but i figure if im gonna have someone fix the rest of stuff, might as well do bushings or whatever else is in there.
priced some of the parts that i think i need and parts are like 400ish.
my question is, is there a kit i can buy that would include all ness parts for the job??
a guy told me they sell a kit with all needed parts, but dont know where they sell such a thing.
im in jersey, not much of a mechanic, so i need work done. think i got a guy to do work, just looking for parts.
trucks in body shop now getting cleaned up.
wheel fell off the truck last week:banghead:
so any help is much appreciated

Not aware of a complete kit for what your looking for but just make sure you get MOOG parts. theres a ton of other suspension parts out there and MOOG is the best last the longest etc etc. its cheaper to spend a little more money in the first place on a decent part.Just a quick run down. control arm bushings. upper and lower ball joints. inner/outer tie rods,idler arms and sway bar bushings should about cover the suspension. While its all apart its cheaper and easier to do everything at once. then everything will be tight and fresh and you wont have anything do worry about. if you have the money i would bet the steering box has a good bit of wear. a rebuilt box is less than 200 bucks and makes a world difference if theres a ton of play

www.performanceonline.com sells rebuild kits in either rubber or poly urethane.

i mistyped. theres only one idler arm.

I recommend PST as well. The difference is they offer polygraphite bushing rather than polyurethane. The self lubricating properties of graphite impregnated urethane is far superior to common rubber, or squeak prone pure urethane bushings.

thanks for reply guys. looking at both sites. now the prices seem good on rebuild kits, didnt add idler, pitman or anything else to get grand total yet.
but are these kits what i should buy or should i buy the mooge parts from the other place i checked out??

I used PST bushings on my Firebird along time ago and bought the rest separately from Moog.
