Quality Front End Rebuild Kit

Anyone seen or used the kit in the link below? Or are there better kits out? I also want to use a polyurethane kit. I saw the list of suspension pieces which is a great help, but thought maybe a Kit would make it easy.

Here's another, much the same:

If you purchase a poly kit, you'll no doubt be stuck with extras. Personally, I'd buy as needed.

He's a board sponsor. I'm unsure (double-check), but they're probably Moog parts.

Re: Quality Front End Rebuild Kit

I have just recently installed the Spohn front end kit + ball joints and I would recommend it. Everything went in with no problems and it is now like new car.

Re: Quality Front End Rebuild Kit

if its a moog kit wich i think it is from hawks id go for it. I always use moog parts my car or customers. try to find out if they have greaseable joints if they do grease them at in stall and every oil change and youll probably never have to replace another part.

Re: Quality Front End Rebuild Kit

Just rebuilt the front of my 92 rs. I used Spicer parts a more quality brand. Ordered from rockauto cheaper than most places. I did the a-arms with energysuspention bushings. same for the swaybar bushings. Price around a little extra time could save some money that could go somewhere else.
