I am slowly accumulating pieces to refurbish my front end. Rather than piece it all together shopping on ebay and here I though maybe I can get the whole setup here easily and in true CSOB style.
Here is what I am looking for...preferably new and all from the same place but ok to split I guess. Again looking for value. Debating on getting the turbo tie rod kit. Car is a 1970 /4 and a streeter; no racing. If I don't really need the kit than great. Good parts brands vs. great parts are probably ok too. Front Bushings - Poly acquired from GPR Lower Ball Joints- Turbo Rod Kit or Tie Rod Ends Anything Else???? Also think I need a cross member section; the piece bolted to the steering rack. Looks really corroded...local for this one since heavy |

The a arms you were offered will not fit your car as you need the pinch bolt type not the taper pin type. Bruce |

Another thing that might need some attention while you're in there is the steering coupler between the rack and steering shaft...they can degrade and generate some slop/looseness in the system. I should've done mine when I had it apart!

am i going to see a huge difference if I do the turbo tie kit vs. just new ends? I'll let you know after I get everything installed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Word is, yes, but if yours are the originals and worn out, just installing new ball joints and rod ends it will definitely provide improvement over 30+ year old ones. I decided to go with the turbo rods as I occasionally get a little aggressive behind the wheel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
