need to rebuild front susp (where to purchase kit?)
I started cleaning up my front suspension yesterday to get ready to swap my disk brake conversion and noticed the rubber pooched out on the A frame shafts. (Arg.....)
With the disk swap kit came drop spindles, ball joints, and tie rods. Looks like now I will be rebuilding the suspension as well. Going to also need, front coil springs as the PO installed drop springs and cut 1 coil off of the drop spring. When I put the truck on stands, before unbolting anything, I could litteraly move the spring about 2 inches up or down inside the spring pocket by hand. (just floating in there) My question: Where is a good place to purchase a kit,and or drop springs or should I just order pieces from Auto Zone/ maybe junk yard? |

Oreillys carries Moog brand pieces if you're looking to get things locally. If you have the time, order through Summit Racing. The local places have almost 100% mark-up on lots of the front end rebuild parts. With Summit, the parts will be cheaper & you'll get free shipping on your order (you'll most likely spend the $100 minimum).

Re: need to rebuild front susp (where to purchase kit?)
Ok, Located upper and lower A arm shafts for 63 from Rock Auto for about $130. shipped.
Just had a thought though, (Will my current 63 A arms accept the later bushings and shafts from a 73-87 C10?) Would it be worth upgrading at this time? Thanks in advance for all the help! |

I vote Rock Auto as well. Bought all Moog hardware for my truck including the shafts. At the time they had the best prices & shipping. Super fast shipping as well.
