I'm thinking about replacing my worn out ball joints and control arm bushings this winter. Where can I find the best quality kits for a reasonable price? - thanks, mike
Most every thing from Autozone, NAPA etc... is made in China now but to be honest I haven't asked specifically about their Suspension kits. I was hoping for a recommendation on a quality KIT at a reasonable price.

You can make your own kit by asking for the following NAPA part numbers:
NCP 2671471 - upper control arm bushing
NCP 2673519 - lower control arm bushing
NCP 2601089 - lower ball joint
NCP 2601071 - upper ball joint
All of these are Federal-Mogul parts and have a lifetime warranty.
Note: I'm not a shill for NAPA parts. I have no financial interest in the company or in Federal-Mogul. I've just found that I get great service from their parts; that has earned them a lot of loyalty from me..
I just received my Willcox deluxe front US made kit yesterday for my 72. Tie rod ends, ball joints and idler arm were all moog. The rubber bushings were Harris, considered to be the best. Got a 20% forum discount. Cost was $246 with shipping.
