Re: front end kit

for a budget kit I spent like 2 days putting together and comparing prices, if u search "sloppy steering" or just read a few post's below i have a website url, and it contains more then you would get in a front end kit and costs about 200 $, autozone's cheapest line was 300 + and the kits i seen were 170+ the cheaper ones had like nothing to them.

Re: front end kit

Check eBay. There's a guy up in Canada that sells full sets for about $159. It's not Moog, but it's not China junk either. He gives a good explanation of the difference.

Re: front end kit

Do it right the 1st time around. rockauto.com has great prices on Moog parts. And if you look in the vendor section, you can get a discount code too.
