Default PST Polygraphite Suspension kit in

I drove the 72 last night after getting the PST suspension components in. Polygraphite bushings all new in front, new idler arms, 1 1/4 " sway bar, etc. $478 package and worth every penny. What nice difference :) :cheers: http://www.p-s-t.com/

Biltogo,
glad to hear you like your PST bushings. This weekend I will be putting back together the front end of my '73. I used PST bushings also.
Question. How tight (in ft/lbs) did you tighten the bushing bolts. I heard you should do the final torque on them after the car is on the ground. However, I may have to tighten the upper ones prior to that because of lack of clearance between a-arm and fan shroud.

Wow, I don't have answers for you. Been working 12+ hour days, so I had a shop do it for me.
