so i have a 91 base v8 firebird and the suspention up front is very sweaky noisy when i brake and sloppy a tad and id like to handle the turns a lil better...id like to do it this weekend and have a lil over 100 bucks to throw at it, so my question is what are some things that i could/should replace up front that i can get at my local parts store??? thanks guys!!!
if you wait a bit longer you can just buy a front end rebuild kit from spohn or BMR or UMI.
the spohn one is like 350 if you add the ball joints and ive heard good things from it.
i plan on getting it once i get my SFCs and drop spindles.
yeah, i just got a new posi rear end and trans am sway bars so i think i will wait and readdo everything, be pointless to take it apart five times, thanks guys!

If you so desired, you could install the sway bars (greaseable poly and poly end links) without having issues. When you do the front sway, consider a Wonderbar as well.

i have been looking into a wonder bar but im doing a motor swap in a month or so. (waiting till the snow flys cuz i cant drive her anyways then, then less down time) i figure no point and installing a wonder bar till the new motor is in case there is any clearance issues and just so i dont have to remove it.

wait im talking about the wonder bar that goes from the tops on the shock tower, what are you talking about?
"
What you are calling the wonder bar across the top is STB or" Strut Tower Brace".
The so called wonder bar is "Steering box support" and is located below and in front of the engine. Some people call it a wonder bar because they wonder what it's function is.
Use the correct terms and everyone will be on the same page.
i guess everyone i know calls them wonder bars... but your correct on that i guess its just a huge force of habit. better then asking about front quarter panles? lol!!!!
