Where should I buy front end rebuild parts?
Well, I've decided it's finally time to rebuild the front suspension on the Gentleman Jim (and my 1980 Indy Hauler I just picked up, but more on that later...)
I've been shopping around for the best prices on ball joints, tie rod ends, bushings etc. and the best I can come up with was the prices at Autozone for hard parts and Summit for PST bushings if I want to use those. I just got a Northern Automotive catalog and it seems to have some better prices on these parts. Has anyone bought suspension parts from them or where have people been buying their parts?

i bought the PST kit from PST Directly for $219 including shipping...as far as other parts..what other parts do you need? The PST kit includes basically everything..except like coils/a-arms/shocks/spindles...stuff like that...

jegs has the Energy suspension hyperflex bushing sets for only 192.99 for the 81-87's and about 10 bucks cheaper for the older ones.
of course they are made out of polyurethane, unlike the pst kit which i believe contains polygraphite bushing, which squeak less? |

Another vote for PST. I purchased my kit directly through them too. Great service and excellent products.

I ordered my kit from performance suspension, paid a little more than www.p-s-t.com. Oh well, Maybe I can sell my kit to my buddy and order a new one for me.
