Front suspension rebuild

Sean Kennedy · 01-28-2010, 06:15 PM

So the front end on my car is wore out. I've got a pretty good idea what I'm looking at putting into the car I was just looking for feedback.

For bushings I'm looking at the Global West Del-A-Lum bushings, I've never heard anything bad about them and have been told they work great.

For ball joints I was considering the AFCO Low Friction of possibly the QA1 Adjsutable ones, that are also pretty low friction... does anybody use these or have any other suggestions?

Should I bother with the steering components unless they are excessively worn? Any brands or parts?

BTW, if you didn't already know this is on a 1969 El Camino.

Hey Sean on your car it would be worth it to talk to Alf Wiebe, when he set me up on my chevelle he suggested the del-a-lum bushings, and the low friction lower ball joints. He also sold me a redesigned upper a arm cross shaft and 'special' upper ball joints with alignment specs and recommended the moroso springs and a good front shock and what a difference ,I just need the motor to push my barge down the track haha
