Hey gang..
Where's the best place to get a complete front suspension kit for my '69 Charger? I want to get quality parts and willing to spend a little extra for obvious reasons.
Good experiences, bad experiences?

Thanks..

We bought a complete front end kit for our 69 coronet from PST.

they sent a sway bar (thats it) and it's been nothing but a hassle trying to figure it out. Maybe it was UPS that messed up, but PST has been nothing but an pain to deal with trying to figure it out.


Don't buy PST...and get order tracking where ever you order from.

Energy Suspension was great!

best is very subjective...
moog or spicer pro
are about the best quality front end parts out there
you can get that i know of??
unless you want the poly type stuff.

nobody carries a complete moog kit??
most will piece it together from rock auto
or somewhere else.
Bill rolik has spicer pro kits,they are very pricey..
i would be afraid of some of the kits i've seen
offered on ebag..

Here is what I did for my 1971 Superbee
Suspension pieces (tie rod ends, balljoint, etc) Rockauto. I bought Moog pieces and saved almost $100.

Bushings I personally went with prothane for everything I could get. If it wasn't offered I went with energy. I ordered from Summit

If you piece it together from rockauto you will save some money.


For the absolute best powder coating go to J.I.T powder coating, contact infomation is in my personal profile..

You will find that most is made overseas, its Thiawan for the tie rods, USA for the ball joints, Japan or india for some of the other parts. Tim

I just ordered a complete "Kit" from Rock Auto.... just get your list and order away.. all MOOG parts...and cheaper then the standard PST kit.

I've been digging and comparing... Seems, for the money and quality, Rockauto's the way to go. I hear you on the squeaky part on the PST kit, that's why I'll not go that route. I prefer the OEM rubber.

Thanks to all for responding.
