better than stock front suspension?
okay, so i'm getting ready to sell the reliable, great-running, noproblems excab dodge in order to fund my LS1 swap
while the engine's out, i want to re-work the front suspension. it's bone stock, '72 with disk brakes, etc. when i drive it now, it feels...unsteady. tends to walk a little, horrible cornering, and although i haven't inspected it, i would guess that there's quite a lot of wear on the a-arms and "Jesus" bolts, maybe even "wallered out" a bit. how should i go about rebuilding this front end so that it feels more solid/modern, while still maintaining stock ride height. i don't want to slam or even lower it, but most of the components i find do just that. i'd love to find aftermarket stuff, maybe tubular? that will be stronger/more responsive than stock. oh, and i don't want to spend a TON of cash, either. does anyone have any suggestions? it seems i've only found info on lowered kits. thanks!
