Re: Front end rebuild kits

I'm really not too worried about the rear leaf spring polyurethane bushing because I will be getting a triangulated 4 Link put in its place which will be poly bush

Re: Front end rebuild kits

I made the mistake of putting energy suspension everywhere I could on a Ford maverick i had 20+ years ago. The squeaks drove me bonkers. I put PST balljoints on that maverick way back when...it was chinese stuff...but seemed of ok quality...6 or 7 years ago when I did the front end on my C10 i just bought MOOG stuff off summit racing. The boot on my passenger side on the lower ball joint has dried up and torn...but the other ones are ok. I only put poly on the sway bar bushings.

Re: Front end rebuild kits

I used PST for upper/lower control arm bushings and sway bar bushings. Mostly because of all the hype on the poly-graphite. For everything else I used MOOG. Barely getting my truck running so I haven't really been able to see if all the hype is true.

Re: Front end rebuild kits

I used energy suspension front end kit from parts geek.com. Its been several months and have had no issues. The poly is a hell of a lot easier to install than rubber in my experience. But make sure you put a lot of that poly lube on all the parts. The kit was around$60 if i remember correctly.
