“full” front end rebuild kit

Hey guys, I have a 1982 Camaro berlinetta LG4. I need to replace the front end bushing really bad I was wondering what was the best “full” front end rebuild kit. I’m looking for something that will not chance the ride height but will “dramatically” change the handling. Any ideas, thank guys

I used a P-S-T suspension rebuild kit in my front end. They use a polygraphite bushing. Graphite in the poly keeps them from squeaking. I had good luck with this kit and had no problems. I ordered it with all the tie rods and the two ball joints.

The poly bushings keep the suspension from deflecting under load, and keep alignment true through the travel of the front end.

There are other manufactures that make kits so shop the market.

To "dramaticly" change the ride you will have to change springs and shocks. A spring change would probably alter the ride height as well as the characteristic of the ride.

Good luck.

Also consider replacing the upper strut mounts while you have it apart. Two good sites for these items are:

Spohn Performance, Inc.

and Shox Bilstein shocks, Bilstein PSS, Koni, BOGE, Eibach, K&N and other name brand suppliers
