any sugestions on front-end packages to buy? Last time I did a rebuild was on a 62 dodge lancer many years ago. I did all the rubbers and new brakes. I'm a bit rusty since I did any major front-end work.
I would like to keep it original and easy on the bank.... thanks for any help.

peace,
rand

 

If you are willing to look around most of the parts if not all can be had right over the counter. The so called kits are uaually a rip off. Moog and Rabestos as well as many other good brands still carry all of the brakes or front end suspension parts. I go to car quest but Napa and other major stores are more equiped to help than most folks think. Might be tough to get drums though. Other wise bearings, seals, bushings and such are available.

 

cool, thanks for your advice!

 

Boogie is right. But to save a few $, getting the part # from the big guys sites, and searching the web can pay off big time on these parts. My favorites are frugalmechanic.com, or amazon.com With most of the bargain sites you want a mfgr's part number cause their "look-up" features kinda suck. I scored a Fel-Pro engine rebuild gasket set that was priced at $220-260 everywhere around town. found it on Amazon for $160, free shipping, and NO TAX!
