Anybody ever buy this?

If so, how did it work out? Any problems? Any suggestions?

I sourced parts individually for my front rebuild. As stated before, you can't control what's in that kit.
I used all MOOG components, though the upper ball joints aren't an exact replacement appearance-wise.
I think Willcox has some that look correct, and are U.S. made. Federal-Moguls maybe?
Surely he'll chime in directly.

I just saw this.. Our kits are Moog Lowers and Federal Mogul uppers. The uppers are as close to the original style ball joint as you will find on the market that is USA made.
The kit at the link posted is imported.. we have this same kit on our site but we kind of hide it..
Here is the best link to the USA made kits for your car.

It is a mix on the other items... either FM or Moog.. but all USA made.. and one or the other.
The USA kits on our site are the same kits we install in our shop about twice a month and we have no issues.
Thank you,
Willcox
have a happy Turkey day!
