I am considering getting the front suspension rebuild kit from Ecklers that includes: Upper and lower ball-joints, tie-rod ends, and urethane bushings. All for about $270.00. I am also going to finish up with urethane bushings for the rear.

Can anyone advise me if there is a better route to go. I have priced ball joints locally and the prices vary wildly. I have seen as much as $115.00 ea for ball joints and as little as $49.95 ea.

I want to spend as little money as possible but, I don't want to buy cheap parts and regret it later.

Any help or advise is much appreciated.

BTW. My car has a little over 100k and I get some vibration from the front end. Also, when I first start the car and back out of the garage, when I put it in reverse with the brake on I get a pop/snap from the front suspension. I am assuming that it is the front ball joints. The control arm bushings are full of cracks around the outside edge that shows.

I am planning on ordering the parts later this afternoon or tomorrow. I want to do the work this week-end.

Thanks,

Mike. :cheers:

I bought most all my suspension parts from them. All of it Moog, all at good prices.

For Poly, check summitracing for energy suspension kits.

I got both front and rear kits at www.p-s-t.com The price can't be beat. Order more lube for the poly bushings at the same time because they don't give you enough.

Thanks to all for the advise. I ordered my parts from P-S-T. I couldn't find a better price and the CSR thar I talked to was very knowledgable.
