Suspension parts

[polara71]

I know this subject is brought up frequently but I'd like to know, what everyone is using for replacement suspension parts? I have an e mail out to PST which I have used many years ago and it seemed as their front end parts lasted about 40,000 miles. Springs and Things also sells suspension parts. They are a reputable spring dealer of which I have used several times for leaf springs but not front end parts.
I can get most MOOG parts online or at a retailer but most of those are made overseas and I have a feeling the others are as well.
What are you guys using? .......please :sSig_thanks:

I just bought 4 sway bar link kits K700535 for both formals.....Moog "problem solver" kits which are re-engineered and make for easy installation.

My problem with MOOG these days is most is made in India and China

The link kits I have in my hand say made in the USA.

I know that some of there stuff is made off shore.

But these days.....who doesn't.

I've never had a Moog part fail because of shoddy design or manufacturing.

Moog, all the time. Got some moog bushings & parts sitting on my work bench in the garage right now. Waiting for nicer weather.

I'm an advocate of Moog parts...... was looking for opinions on others, I guess there may not be any

My Moog parts for the New Yorker said Made in the USA. The first set of uppers were Moog China from ebay. Looked cheap. Returned them and paid much more for Moog USA from AAP. BIG difference.
Can't speak for other models.
Most recently bought a lower ball joint for the Newport from Rare Parts and appearance looked the same as OEM. Jury out until miles are racked up.
RE: The New Yorker. It feels like new.
Tight. Firm. And still has that 1976 OEM loosy goosy nostalgic feel.

Rare Parts in Stockton, CA is my preferred supplier. They sell top quality USA made parts from many manufacturers (including MOOOOG) and also engineer some of their own (Diamond Series). Great folks to deal with.

I am slowly collecting all the parts needed for a complete front end rebuild, from them.
