Front-end question

[Lue]

I'm looking to have my front end redone, but with all the choices out there. I was thinking of buying a whole kit instead of piecing one together. I hear alot of people having a good experience with moog products. What do you guys think about this kit? or is anyone using the same kit?

Moog is the only way to go. 😀

I am planning to get that kit for my car this spring. Let us know if you get it and how well it works.

I have a question for those of you who know a lil more about suspensions.

In the kit, it has the option of adding Ball Joints: (both) for $101.80 and upper A-Arm Offset Cross Shafts: Cross Shafts (pair) (+$97.90).

That's almost a $200 increase, is it worth getting. Or can you find some for less and same quality?

Any suggestions, or opinions is helpful thanks!!!!

the price on the ball joints is very good, and they are critical, so i'd definately buy them. the offset cross shaft will definately help with your alignment, but if you plan on upgrading the suspension you would be best off with something like the SPC adjustable arms.

Definately get new ball joints for the upper and lowers.

You should be able to reuse your original cross shafts without any problem.

Checkout your local parts store - no reason to pay $ to have all that shipped when you can get it down the street. Stick with Moog and if you're going to tear it down, replace everything you can at once.

X2 on that.

I got all Moog stuff from my local Car Quest. They've been very good to me over the past several years so I buy everything through them.

You can get a lot of that from Autozone. They have Duralast which has always worked fine for me.

If you want Mooq, JEGS.com has a lot of Mooq parts and they have standard 2nd Day Shipping. 8)

I would like to upgarde my a-arms along with the rest of my suspension, but it's a bit out of my price range. Would it be ok if i order the kit along with the ball joints, and not the cross shaft? Or is the cross shaft needed in order for the kit to work properly or get messed up?
