I'm looking for a rebuild kit for a '57 Coronet. I can find Moog and ProForged and other brand ball joints, but the only bushings I can find are ACDelco at Rock Auto. Any other sources?

I just did the front end on my '57 Dodge and used an E-bay kit. I was quite pleased with the quality visually, only time will tell if it lasts.

It hurts to say it but on occasion I have used AC Delco parts and no issues. Not your specific application however.

I would suggest inspecting AC delco parts well, see attached lower control arm bushings and they looked more like moog offset upper control arm bushings down ...from rock auto too

Maybe look into Kanter or Rare Parts or see if there's a supplier advertising on Forwardlook.net?

Kanter cannot tell me the source of their parts. They might be from Asia, they might not be. At least Rock Auto lists the manufacturer and quality level. I will inspect the parts when they show up...
