Front Suspension Rebuild Kit
Hi everyone and happy Friday!
Working on a 69 Vette and am in need of a front suspension kit. I'm looking for 'standard' stuff like ball joints, tie rod ends and bushings and would like US made parts. I checked out Van Steel but it appears they may be having trouble getting Moog ball joints.
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thank you!
Tony

Not aware of any good "Kits". Best bet for quality parts is order individually. Try Rock auto for Moog joints. And other auto parts places. Make certain you specify USA made Moog. Not all Moog joints are US made. Rubber parts. Contact Bairs Corvettes.

I'm giving the owner the list above and telling him to look around, but realistically Rock Auto seems to be best bet so far. I may swap the bushings out for ploy ones, but other than that it will all stay the same.
