well dont foget the rear and cab and tranny and motor. see where im going. at one time someone sold a whole kit but that was back when my dad was looking into this and that has been quite awhile i could be wrong.

CHaingKaiShek · 04-03-2003, 07:56 AM

Baaah - Who needs cab-mounts anyway.

I assume picking those up from your local autoparts or GM dealer is going to be the best way. Or you can order them chunk by chunk. I've never seen an ENTIRE truck bushing kit.

Well was just trying to help, I'd say get the front end kit from performancesuspension, and get your mounts from energy suspension.

I'd wait for some other people to add info however. I personally have never used energy products.

Here you go guys. Energry suspension part number is ENS-3-18109G for the black bushings and ENS-3-18109R for the red. These numbers came from Summit, $ 183.95.

just a note... i bought this kit for my '82 (since its going on a '78 frame) and it includes....
UCA bushings
LCA bushings
leaf spring bushings
sway bar bushings
cab mount bushings
a trans mount
and tie rod boots

they also sell motor mounts, which i bought for 24.99 each through Jegs.

we just finished putting one of these kits in my friend's Monte Carlo, great quality stuff and fairly simple to install.

TIMSPEED · 04-03-2003, 01:37 PM

Just buy the PST Front Kit for $219, then buy the Motor/Tranny mount kit (Energy Suspension) from Summit/Jegs for $55, then also get the rear spring eye bushings from either Summit/Jegs for another $50, then Cab Mounts should run about $50...I was going to do all that replacing, but my rear spring eye bushings WOULD NOT come out...so me and my friend decided "bushings don't come out = they're not broke!"

PHOENIX · 04-03-2003, 03:13 PM

Performance Suspension is close to my house. I have been in their store before. They are nice to deal with and know their stuff.

apstguy · 04-03-2003, 04:54 PM

Just looked at Summit & they have a kit with all the bushings you need.

WORD!

PST makes an awesome front-end rebuild and cab mount kit for our trucks.

MSL · 04-03-2003, 05:12 PM

Thanks guys. Also your PST it sent me to a business site it has nothing to do with automotive.

Hey thanks i will check it out.

79BIG10 · 04-03-2003, 07:35 PM

One thing P-S-T does not include everything that the Performance Suspension kit comes with on the front end kit. I'm going with Perfomance when the $$$ comes.

LOHRTBT · 04-03-2003, 07:38 PM

I dont know which I will go with but I know I want the poly graphite bushings ...I think that is PST.

BaggedC10 · 04-03-2003, 07:49 PM

The PST kit includes the following:

Typical 2WD or 4WD Ball Joint type Front End Kit includes:

2 Upper Ball Joints
2 Lower Ball Joints
2 Outer Tie Rod Ends
4 Upper Inner Bushings
2 or 4 Lower Inner Bushings (as required)
2 Strut Rod Bushings (as required)
2 Stabilizer Links*
2 Sway Bar Bushings**
Control Arm Bumpers (most models)

*Trucks with conventional bolt type Stabilizer Links.

**Trucks with conventional "U" shaped brackets.

What doesn't it include?

The outer tie rods also include polygraphite boots and our kits come with new bumpstops.
