Front end rebuild time

Hi everyone,

My 1983 TA has original steering components and ever since I've owned the car it gets pretty shaky at speeds above 70MPH. The ball joints in the steering system have a bit of play and the power steering box is leaking fluid.
Time for a front end rebuild.

What do you all suggest for a replacement kit at reasonable price and quality?

Thanks!

Re: Front end rebuild time

I'm rebuilding my suspension for the third time this fall; New everything: I'm even replacing my KONI struts that I installed in the summer of 1990. (Moving to a custom valve insert)

Here's the place where you can send your power steering box in for rebuild.

It depends on whether or not you have the quick ratio steering box from the WS6 suspension package... but if you do, you WONT want to just go to Autozone and buy something off the shelf.

Jorgen will get you the right stuff and it won't leak anymore.
As for the rest, buy Moog problemsolver parts. They really do solve problems!
