Re: New Front End

I'm doing the same on my stock height and suspension 79 Sierra Grande, as far as I'm concerned Moog makes the best chassis parts for the money. I don’t know if there are better high performance parts but if you’re going stock I would use Moog. Here’s my list, if it helps.

Idler arm Moog K6096T
Pitman Arm Moog K6143
Pitman seal kit skf 12392

Gear Box cardone 277512
Stabilizer moog ssd10
Tie Rod inner Moog ES409LT
tie rod outer Moog ES409RT
tie rod sleeve Moog ES2004S
Lower Ball Joint Moog K6117T
Up Ball Joint Moog K6136
Shock front Rancho RS5120
Shock Rear Rancho RS5118
Bushing kit Energy susp 3-18109


I found all of this on Amazon a lot cheaper then my local Checkers, and free shipping on most of it. Also check out http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...s.asp?cat=2330 for your bushings. The master kit covers just about everything including control arm bushings and body mounts.
