Front end rebuild

Where are all you guys buying your frontend rebuild kits from? Are you using the stock rubber bushings or the poly bushings?

Thanks

Re: Front end rebuild

Im going with the PST kit they offer a Polygraphite bushing instead of the polyurathane bushing. this is an advantage cause it reduces the squeaks that are common on the polyurathane bushing. If you have ever run them u will know what i mean. plus the PST kit is pretty inexpensive. good luck

Re: Front end rebuild

I'm going with a PST kit also. In addition to the upgraded polygraphite, they also sell a less expensive set with rubber bushings. I'm probably just going with rubber bushings since my suspension is all stock, only driven occassionally and I'm not too concerned about improving handling. I just want it to drive like new. I have heard very good things about PST's polygraphite though. If you're looking for an upgrade that is probably the way to go.

Not familiar with PST? Where do you get those from? Yes I have used polyurathane and agree with the noise.
