I have been looking at getting a complete front end rebuild kit I snagged a 76 front end for my truck I have seen most kits are in the mid to high 200s I want either poly or polygraphite bushings where has the best deal

BTW I have EVERYTHING from the 76 i just cut the frame from the cab forward and took it all

you can try and check out www.p-s-t.com and have them send you a free catalog.

You can buy all "MOOG" Chassis parts and Energy Suspension bushings(for the 73+ front end. through Summit Racing (summitracing.com) -
That's how I did mine and it actually came out cheaper than if I bought the kit from Early Classic Enterprises.

What is included in the rebuild kit for $200???? It was close to $475 for all of my stuff..but that was control arm shafts, ball joints, inner and outer tierods, pitman arm, idler arm

It comes with all the bushings ball joints tie rods for 220 and for 280 you get the sway bar mounts and idler arm

where are you getting this 200$ kit from?

arkracing · 11-15-2004, 10:50 PM

probably cheap non-warranty chine Stuff though..Moog has lifetime on Chassis parts...I don't know..I'd rather pay more for the peace of mind - especially with Chassis parts. Even Early Classic's kit is like $450-$500 depending on the model

pst has a kit for 220 www.performancesuspension.com has one for 280 shipped both have a lifetime warranty

Rember the 73+ kit Is cheaper the 72 down cost more cash I went to the newer front end because of that and it has discs and the 5 lug pattern i wanted instead of trying to improve something with more expensive parts

Bryce, if you want polygraphite , I believe PST is your only option. Polyurethane is more common, but it tends to be noisy.

I have used a couple of PST kits before. I don't know what brand their parts are because they come in plastic baggies, rather than boxes like Moog. Only issue I had, was both cars the rubber boots on the balljoints cracked after about a year or so. They looked like they were 100 years old, all split and dry.
