Post suspension

I was asking this question for input before I spend a ass of money on something that might not be proven. Before paint I will need to rebuild my front end. I have seen a kit on Fbody motorspots for 239.00 that includes idler arm, center link, tie end rods(inner and outer) all I can think of now. I need a pitman arm too. Wheel bearing are bad inner and outer I guess. Anys do you guys know of a cheaper kits of maybe something worth while. Plus I needed some input on some struts I was going to go with those blisten HD ones but those are 215.00 I heard kyb ones were better though.

Then when I get a chance I want to get a wonder bar, tower strut brace, upper and lower control arms by spoon. And one last question do sway bars ware out?

Re: suspension

Sway bars don't wear out. But the bracket and link bushings will wear out over time.

I don't know about the struts, and whether the kit is worthwhile I'd say depends on exactly what is included, and the quality of the parts.

Re: suspension

id say from a cost perspective that kit is a STEAL, but thats just from your description, i mean just the idler arm from GM is like 80 to 100 bucks. i got nailed on it. had to replace mine for inspection. as for the quality of the kit, i trust Fbody motorsports, if they sell it, im in support of it.
