Needing to rebuild front end?
I seen that lmc has a rebuild bushing kit but i dont want to spend what they are asking. Is there any other vendors that sell a poly urethane bushing kit for and 82 gmc 2wd long bed?

I wouldn't buy from lmc for that stuff anyway I did and wasn't happy with any of there suspension parts. Have you looked at moog bushings, they should make them.

Re: Needing to rebuild front end?
go to a decent speed shop they will sell you a quality kit cheaper than LMC

Re: Needing to rebuild front end?
Have you checked your local parts house. Sometimes they'll carry Energy Suspension Bushings and such. You just have to ask. You'd be surprised at what the local guys carry and or can get.

Re: Needing to rebuild front end?
Recommend Moog stuff as well. Most auto parts stores should have them or could order them in.
If you know/find out the part numbers....amazon could work too. You only want to do the front end once...get decent parts! Posted via Mobile Device

P-S-T
I bought a kit from them and it was straight forward and fairly easy to install.

Re: Needing to rebuild front end?
I have found that rockauto.com has some of the lowest prices on moog. If you order from them do a web search for "coupons". Can get another 5% off. Also look here - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=522860

Re: Needing to rebuild front end?
Rockauto also has complete Dorman repro lower and upper control arms complete with ball joints, shafts bushings etc. Less shipping it'll set you back around $800.

Re: Needing to rebuild front end?
Pro performance has your bushing at a great price and you can get the rest like tie rods and ball joints at AutoZone or orielys

Re: Needing to rebuild front end?
If you go with moog just make sure you get the problem solver or "HD" line of their stuff. They got bought out by crappa (whoops i mean Napa) and their quality has gone way downhill UNLESS you get the problem solver or HD. A lot of people overlook, but brands like ACdelco and motorcraft have to be up the the manufacturers standards. Which is of course, lasting around 100k miles. Or more sometimes. Cause its what you'll find on a new vehicle that they have to warranty. A lot of those off brand ones will go 5 or 10K and need to be replaced again. Junk.

Re: Needing to rebuild front end?
Not real sure. Id assume it was just anything after the Napa buyout. Got a few friends in the wheel and tire biz that say stay away from moog nowadays. Except for th hd/problem solver line.
