Re: front end 69 nova
I don't know if it's the best but it's what we use.
Global west bushings and extended ball joints. They sell it in kit form

Mat, I went with Energy Suspension urethane control arm bushings, Moog #K5250 offset control arm shafts and standard Moog replacement ball joints.
Afco and ProForged make low friction extended upper ball joints. QA-1 has standard length low friction ball joints that can be serviced. -Al

Re: front end 69 nova
Are the replacement bushings roller bearing or something like that ? When you say steel bushings does this mean its steel to steel ,no bushing material ? The longer Ball joints are for reducing camber change? thanks
