Looking to refurb the steering on my my 85 t/a(tie rods, centerlink, etc...). What brands/companies do you guys recommend I go with?
Looking for strength/longevity/performance and will be mated to a full UMI suspension upgrade (minus the k-member for now).

 

Buy an entire kit from Spohn performance

 

Moog for everything except the idler arm. AC delco for that.

 

Several years ago I bought the Hotchkis kit and it fits good. I remember coughing and choking at the pice for what I was getting.

 

This is how I feel about the spohn set which is coated. Rock auto + POR15 = cheaper

 

Thanks for all the suggestions!
I've heard there are high and low grades of Moog, if I go that route how can I be sure I'm getting their higher grade?
Also, I've heard their center links do not fit correctly, is that true?

 

I have 100% Moog look for the " problem solver" series with " metal gusher bearing/bushings" it's the idler arm some folks have issues with. The car has slotted holes for mounting it it MUST be set with the connection to the center link exactly the same height from the centerline of the front A arm pivot bolt as the steering box side. There are flats machined on the centerlink where the inner tie rods mount to measure this. It is easier to do before the inner tie rods are installed. However you might have to remove one side of the centerlink to get the stud of the inner tie rods on the centerlink.

 

What do you think about the Hawks kit?

What the... ?!?! Why is that $170 and the Hotchkis kit is $450?!

Man, even 6 years later I still feel ripped off. Although everything did fit as it should.

 

Is ProForged any good? Summit has a kit that looks pretty decent.
I'm leaning towards either the Hawks package or the Summit package. Any thoughts?
