i am gettin ready to build up my 71 scamp for the 383 and am wanting a complete front end rebuild kit. what kits have you guys used, and whats better rubber or poly

thanks!

i got a rubber kit from espo. good price and great customer service.

Moog on the ball joints & tie rod ends, rubber on the LCA bushing & poly everywhere else. The offset UCA bushings will give you more positive caster. You might check rock auto's prices.

Use the Moog stuff. I bought mine from Mancini as a kit. If I remember correctly, I did order the Idler and Pitman arms seperately as well as getting the heavier strut rods and bushings from Just Suspension.

well, its a front drum brake car, and i am going to do a scarebird front disc brake conversion on it, and am wondering if it would make a difference on what to get or not.

I do not believe that it would make a difference. You are still keeping your front suspension right? I am not familiar with the scarebird swap. Perhaps your ball joints might end up being different for the LCA and UCA. Anyone done the conversion and have any input?
